You take out your bike, hop on, and the journey begins. Cycling requires no driving licence and no fuel — just a little energy and an open mind. In our grandparents’ time, cycling was a natural part of everyday life. People of all ages used bicycles to get around, even though there were no cycle paths and far fewer transport options than today. Now, especially in larger towns, many people see cycling as risky, tiring,
Sometimes a city’s development is best reflected not in new buildings, but in investments that make everyday life easier. A workplace that can be reached more quickly, a safer junction, a smoother road surface or a well-connected cycle path can often mean more than a large, spectacular development. In Szombathely, the comprehensive modernisation of transport infrastructure has brought significant progress. The city’s economic zones have become easier and faster to access for businesses, commuters and
The Municipality of Kadarkút implemented its project entitled “Construction of a Medical Clinic and Health Centre” with support from the European Union. The aim of the development was to modernise primary healthcare and create conditions that provide more up-to-date and comfortable services for the residents of the town and the surrounding area. The previous health centre had served the local community for many years, but over time it became increasingly clear that the old building
Some improvements don’t stand out because of their size, yet they quietly make everyday life better. In a kindergarten, brighter rooms, safer entrances, and modern play areas can make a real difference for children, parents, and staff alike. The renovation of Gombácska Kindergarten in Marcali aimed to create a safer, more modern environment that better meets the town’s current needs, while also helping to reduce regional disparities in access to early childhood education. The building
One of Nyíregyháza’s key community spaces has once again become a vibrant part of the city’s cultural life. Long-time residents will remember the condition of the Nyíregyháza Open-Air Stage in recent years. While it held many cherished memories, time had clearly taken its toll on this iconic venue. Many locals often remarked how wonderful it would be to see it restored to its former glory. That is why the full renovation—made possible by European Union
Sometimes a development project means far more than a simple investment. It is not just about paving stones, sidewalks, or new streetlights, but about a community’s future, confidence, and sense of hope. That is exactly what happened in Sellye: the project titled Creating a More Livable, Beautiful and Greener Town in the Heart of Ormánság reshaped the townscape while also making everyday life more welcoming, safer, and more enjoyable for local residents. Implemented with EU
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
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
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
What turns the residents of a county into a true community? Shared experiences, lived traditions, and curiosity about one another can all become powerful forces that connect towns and the people who live in them. The project “Our County, Our World” strengthened this sense of belonging in Komárom-Esztergom County in a vivid, engaging, and lasting way. Imagine being able to explore all 76 settlements of the county with a single click. A presentation film was
A community’s true strength is reflected in how it cares for its youngest members and the families raising them. In Aldebrő, this commitment has taken shape in the creation of a new family nursery — a long-standing goal for the village that now provides tangible support to parents of young children. The previous lack of nursery services posed serious challenges for local families, forcing many into long commutes and complicated daily arrangements. It is therefore
The opening of a new nursery is more than the inauguration of a building — it brings real, tangible change to the everyday lives of families with young children and strengthens the entire community in the long term. Built with funding from the European Union, the brand-new nursery has welcomed children from Balatonszentgyörgy and nearby communities since September 2024. The facility makes it significantly easier for parents to return to work or manage daily responsibilities,
