Abstract

Since the autumn of 2020 and the new school year in Bulgaria the compulsory subject "civic education" was be introduced. It is aimed not only at a practical orientation for the modern democratic state, the separation of powers and structures, but also at their meaning. Greater attention to the formation of political culture aims to help young people to make independent and responsible decisions on salient issues.
The European dimension of this topic, namely obtaining basic knowledge about the nature and functioning of the EU, the place of Bulgaria in the decision-making process and the fundamental values of the European Union, is very important.
