As contemporary members of an informational society we are often separated from the heritage and art works and at the same time the global Internet is fostering our abilities to search for deeper meanings. The current study looks at Bulgarian embroidery art with a focus on the symbolism in the ornaments in the embroidery The conducted survey among Trakia University's students in Bulgaria aimed to find out the level of their common knowledge of the symbolism and the secret language of the Bulgarian embroidery. The results show that the knowledge of young people is not sufficiently in-depth which motivated the team of IT teachers to apply interdisciplinary methods of integrating the geometrized ornaments in the information technology education process in order to preserve this valuable knowledge related to Bulgarian embroidery.
