Abstract
The transition to democracy in Bulgaria necessitated a fresh re-conceptualization of the relationship between the individual and the state. Citizenship education became a statutory subject in the curriculum in Bulgarian schools relatively recently. It is integrated in the curriculum as an interdisciplinary field, which, depending on the class level, is taught within other subjects with the aim of developing citizen attitudes and skills for responsible participation in public life. The basic presumption of the current system is that citizenship provides a common denominator of identity within which an accommodation of individual differences is possible.
