Élmény Tár visited Prague We attended a conference in Prague as part of the Stronger Roots programme. Talks, workshops, civil society organisations and lots of new information… The two-day series of talks took place on 2–3 October. We arrived a day early, as it was a long journey. This was a good opportunity to get to know a few of the participants before the conference and

In the Élmény Tár community, volunteers are not merely helpers – they are the ones who, through their attention, time and compassion, enable the children to feel that they are special, that they matter, and that they are not alone. Now that our volunteer recruitment is starting again in September, it’s worth talking about why this role is so crucial – not just for the children, but for the volunteers themselves as well –,

„This isn’t how you imagine childhood” – Why is it important to talk about child poverty? When you imagine childhood, you probably don’t picture a lack of breakfast, siblings taking turns wearing the same pair of shoes, or a young child wondering how they can help out at home when there isn’t enough money. Yet tens of thousands of children in Hungary live like this today. It’s not their fault.

Can we be responsible citizens even whilst still at school? If so, how? What can we do if we witness bullying at school – whether it comes from a fellow pupil or an adult? How can we talk about this honestly, thoughtfully, and yet in a way that offers hope? We explored these questions at the debate club in May, where participants learnt to identify different forms of bullying through games and discussion, and looked for ways to,

These days, more and more companies are recognising the importance of corporate social responsibility. CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is not merely a box to tick in a company’s annual report – it is, rather, an opportunity for organisations to actively shape their environment and community. But what makes a

Who was the adult in your life who believed in you even when others didn’t? Whose single sentence was enough to help you pull yourself together, set goals, or simply not give up? For some children, this adult never appears in their lives. They are the ones who need a mentor. Mentoring is not merely a social

Élmény Tár has announced a four-day training course for social workers. The aim of the course is for participants to develop a trauma-informed approach, which will help them create a safe and supportive environment for people affected by trauma. The training combines the transfer of theoretical knowledge with the development of practical skills, placing particular emphasis on self-awareness, respect for personal boundaries, and the

Why is it important to allocate the 1% portion of your tax? Allocating the 1% portion of your personal income tax (SZJA) provides an opportunity to use part of your tax to directly support civil society organisations or churches. However, year after year, significant sums remain unallocated and therefore do not reach organisations in need. According to a 2023 study by the National Media and Communications Authority (NMHH), between 2010 and 2020

Only our Tancsi students, who know the formula for a sound argument, can help us now. Will they manage to save us? On the first occasion, the teams were presented with various sentences containing hidden flaws in reasoning. We discussed what might be wrong with each argument and identified which ‘argument monster’ had attacked it. The teams worked together to describe the monster’s characteristics and wrote them down on the monster’s
