A new day centre for older people in Mezőtúr

Thanks to an EU-funded development, a new place has been created in Mezőtúr where older people can spend their days in comfort, stay active, and enjoy being part of a community. In recent years, demand for daytime care for older people has grown steadily in the town. Existing institutions were operating at full capacity, while the condition and layout of the buildings were becoming less and less suited to modern needs. This was especially clear...

Where puppets come to life

The world of art is rarely a glamorous industry. More often, it is patient, loving work whose true value is measured in the moments shared with an audience. The story of MárkusZínház in Pécs is very much like that. For decades, the company has remained committed to the belief that stories, puppets, and theatre are about far more than entertainment. Their true mission is to nourish the human soul and strengthen the power of community....

A new chapter for the Bábolna brickworks – a leisure park takes its place

In Bábolna, a once-abandoned brownfield site that had formerly been home to a brick factory has been transformed into one of the town’s most attractive multifunctional community spaces. Thanks to EU funding, this formerly industrial area in the southwestern part of the town has been given new life through environmentally conscious rehabilitation and redevelopment. As a result, it has become an integral part of the town centre. Following the necessary environmental remediation, the old buildings...

What does the school of the future look like in Szarvas?

Have you ever stopped to think about the environment in which the next generation’s knowledge is shaped? Are traditional classrooms still enough, or do the challenges of the 21st century call for a completely different approach? In Szarvas, a major development project offered real answers to these questions, while significantly raising the standard of education. At the heart of the project was the Gál Ferenc University Practice Primary School and Kindergarten in Szarvas, where the...

Digital control on the rails – GYSEV railway lines modernised

A new era has begun on the GYSEV railway network. Today, traffic on several key lines can be managed from a single control center using a digital system, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient operations. With the introduction of centralized traffic control, the railway network can now be supervised and directed from one location. This has made train operations smoother and allows specialists to respond more quickly to changing traffic situations. It has also increased...

Where times and worlds meet: The Miskolc Gallery

The names István Kövesi and Dr. Sándor Petró are unlikely to ring a bell for most people. Yet these two men, working independently in the same era, began collecting art from entirely different backgrounds and motivations. They could not have known how long their historical moment would last, what fate awaited their collections, or that decades later their works would become central to a museum development funded by the European Union. History took an unexpected...

Strengthening flood protection

Flood protection along the Zagyva and Tisza rivers has reached another important milestone. Thanks to an EU-funded development program, several levee sections have been reinforced, hydraulic structures have been renovated or rebuilt, and a modern flood defense system has been established—enhancing the long-term safety of riverside communities. The project covered four key areas: three along the Zagyva River and one on the right bank of the Tisza. Its goal was to modernize the existing flood...

When curiosity shapes the future – A social cooperative building a social enterprise with children

What if children grew up seeing it as natural to ask questions, observe, and experiment—and in doing so also learned where food comes from, why nature matters, and how the world around them works? A Hungarian social cooperative built its EU-funded program on exactly this idea. At the heart of the “Curious Fruit” project, launched by the Bugyulófalva Skills Development Center Social Cooperative, was an already existing interactive science program designed for children aged 5–12:...

Easier access, faster healing

In any outpatient clinic, it is essential to have a sufficient number of well-trained medical professionals, modern medical and diagnostic equipment, and efficiently organized care processes. Equally important, however, is the condition, functionality, and usability of the building itself, and how well it meets the needs of the many patients who visit it. Accessibility, cleanliness, safety, energy efficiency, and overall comfort all contribute to ensuring that patients, doctors, and healthcare staff can focus entirely on...

76 Settlements, 76 stories
