American University in Bulgaria

Teachers from all over Bulgaria will gather in Blagoevgrad on the campus of the American University in Bulgaria to participate in TOLI’s seminar about the lessons of the Holocaust. The program focuses on the impact of stereotypes and prejudice on the individual and within society; portrays Jewish life before and after the Holocaust; and promotes intercultural, student-centered teaching methods between schools and human rights organizations. 

Entitled Learning from the Past – Acting for the Future: Teaching about the Holocaust and Social Justice, the seminars aim to enrich the quality of Holocaust and social justice education in Bulgaria. They provide a meaningful opportunity for participants to integrate national and international pedagogical approaches in the teaching of these challenging topics and in conveying the contemporary relevance of the Holocaust to their students.

The 29th International Mathematics Competition is being organized by University College London and hosted by the American University in Bulgaria. It will take place in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, from 1 - 7 August 2022, if conditions allow. Otherwise, it will again be ON-LINE as last year.

Traditionally every participating university sends several students and one or more Team Leaders. Individual students and teams of students, with or without a Team Leader, that do not represent any university are also welcome. Each Team Leader is expected to hold an academic position in some university level institution and participate in the marking of the work of all participants.

The competition is planned for students completing their first, second, third or fourth year of university education with a maximum age of participants being 23 years of age at the time of the competition, although some exceptions can be made. There is no minimum age limit. Problems are from the fields of Algebra, Analysis (Real and Complex), Geometry and Combinatorics. The working language is English.
