• teachers were familiarized with these textbooks.<br />
The development of these textbooks was f<strong>in</strong>anced with<strong>in</strong> the Austrian <strong>educational</strong> project ECO<br />
NET: fees for authors, expenses for meet<strong>in</strong>gs, translations etc.<br />
By the means of a new Rotary Foundation Match<strong>in</strong>g Grants project the Rotary Club Kitzbühel<br />

colleges.<br />
Compared with other <strong>in</strong>ternational projects to support the vocational education of youth <strong>in</strong> <strong>Bulgaria</strong><br />
the Rotarian activities look rather modest. But meanwhile the Rotarian <strong>educational</strong> <strong>cooperation</strong>s<br />
are seen <strong>in</strong> <strong>Bulgaria</strong> as well as <strong>in</strong> Austria as exemplary: the co-operation of private<br />
and public <strong>in</strong>stitutions, the execution along guidel<strong>in</strong>es worked out <strong>in</strong> agreement with the M<strong>in</strong>istries<br />
of Education <strong>in</strong> Sofia and Vienna, the <strong>in</strong>tegration of the <strong>Bulgaria</strong>n partners <strong>in</strong>to the decision-mak<strong>in</strong>g<br />
processes, the support of Rotary International, the l<strong>in</strong>ks to other <strong>educational</strong> projects<br />
and last but not least the Rotarian activities <strong>in</strong> <strong>Bulgaria</strong> have proved to be susta<strong>in</strong>able.<br />
The <strong>Bulgaria</strong>n and the Austrian school authorities as well as the headmasters, teachers and<br />
students of the pilot-schools thanked the Rotary Club Kitzbühel and its partners for their work <strong>in</strong><br />
favor of the <strong>Bulgaria</strong>n youth.<br />
The Austrian <strong>educational</strong> projects <strong>in</strong> <strong>Bulgaria</strong> will be completed 2008/2009. Rotary Club Kitzbühel<br />
and its partners will be <strong>in</strong>volved once more.<br />
