Summary/Abstract: Since the autumn of 2020 and the new school year in Bulgaria the compulsory subject “civic education” shall 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. The first seven years after the introduction of this subject in our country will be crucial and will show if teachers and experts will be able to provoke in students an interest in the European Union and whether the EU will turn from an abstraction into something they participate in building and something that is part of their identity.
