A pedagogical methodology masterclass organised by the Apáczai Csere János Faculty of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences of Széchenyi István University has begun with the participation of teachers from seven countries around the world. The programme, taking place between 5 and 11 July, aims to provide up-to-date methodological knowledge for professionals who preserve and pass on the Hungarian language and culture through weekend Hungarian schools operating across the diaspora.

After serving as a host last year, Széchenyi István University is once again taking on a hosting role at EFOTT. This time, however, it is doing so together with three other Hungarian higher education institutions to celebrate the festival’s jubilee anniversary. Festival-goers can look forward to a wide range of activities between 8 and 11 July, offering not only a taste of the Széchenyi experience but also insights into the University’s research and development activities.

The Faculty of Design and Performance Arts at Széchenyi István University held graduation ceremonies on 4 July in the building of the former synagogue. During the morning ceremony, graduates from the music performance, music teacher education and conducting programmes received their diplomas, while the afternoon ceremony was dedicated to graduates of the design programmes. On both occasions, outstanding student and staff achievements were also recognised with a range of awards.
