Summer
Institute in Hungary |
|
The Summer
Institute in Szeged, Hungary was the opening event of the
pilot year of the cooperation
in August 1999. The ten-day educational program focused on the
educators first, equipping them with democratic teaching
methods and volunteer involvement training. 32 participating
teachers from Ukraine and Hungary also had the unique chance
to share the cultural and historical heritage of their
countries with other nationalities in the group.

|
The
Summer Institute in Hungary was a great start. Building
personal relationships among the teachers was crucial
for the future success of the educational exchange
project. Ukrainian and Hungarian participants were
excellent Ambassadors of their country. Their knowledge,
interest and commitment impressed everyone involved in
the program. |
