Summary/Abstract: Being a member of the academic staff of the EU Studies Department at Sofia University (Faculty of Philosophy) the author of this paper has the privilege to work with highly motivated, hard-working, open-minded students whose curiosity makes them look incessantly for the answers to a number of important questions regarding the past, the present and the future of the European Union and of our country as part of it. It is undoubted that their untiring inquisitive approach, probing questions, unexpected suggestions and opinions are related not only to the inspiring learning environment they are faced with at the university but also have their roots back in their school life when they were taught, motivated and driven forward by equally inspiring teachers of different subjects. It is exactly this relationship between secondary and tertiary education with an emphasis on developing its “European” strand that is going to be in the focus of our attention.
