Prof. Ivan Apostolov Foreign Language High School is launching a new series of meetings with inspiring guests as part of the initiative “From the School Classroom to the International Stage – the World of Diplomacy”, implemented in partnership with the team of Novinata.bg.
The first meeting will take place on February 20 at 10:30 a.m. in the Interactive Classroom and is intended for 11th grade students, who will be excused from their regular classes.
The aim of the initiative is to give students the opportunity to meet diplomats from different countries, experience diverse cultures, and gain first-hand insight into the diplomatic profession – its responsibility, mission, and importance in today’s world. We believe that meeting inspiring professionals helps young people make informed choices, discover their paths, and, above all, dare to dream.
Our first guest will be

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Türkiye to the Republic of Bulgaria.
