The special two-day event, hosted by the Hungarian Consulate General in Manchester, attracted participants from countries including Switzerland, Sweden and Scotland. The focus of the programme was on developing methodological skills, story and drama pedagogy, and playful identity formation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University has long placed great emphasis on training those who teach the Hungarian language and culture within the diaspora. As part of this effort, lecturers from the university\u2019s Faculty of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences recently conducted a training session in Manchester, attended not only by teachers from Hungarian schools in England but also by participants from other countries. The event was hosted at the Hungarian Consulate General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in its eighth year, the conference was organised by the National Federation of Hungarians in England (<a href=\"https:\/\/maosz.org.uk\/\">MAOSZ<\/a>). Thanks to the collaboration between MAOSZ and Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, and building upon the materials of previous years, this year\u2019s participants were able to earn micro-credentials upon completing the programme modules. Supported by the State Secretariat for National Policy, the programme aimed to enhance the methodological culture of volunteers and teachers working in Hungarian weekend schools across the diaspora. The sessions focused on storytelling, drama pedagogy, and the development of musical and cognitive skills, while also exploring ways to foster national and local identity through gamification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/admissions.sze.hu\/images\/News\/2025_10\/diaszpora\/diaszp%C3%B3ra_K%C3%A9p1.webp\" alt=\"At Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University\u2019s first international micro-credential training, 42 participants received certificates\" title=\"At Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University\u2019s first international micro-credential training, 42 participants received certificates\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>At Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University\u2019s first international micro-credential training, 42 participants received certificates<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the ceremonial opening of the conference, Dr P\u00e9ter Szil\u00e1gyi, Deputy State Secretary for National Policy, spoke about the programmes and initiatives offered by the State Secretariat to support Hungarian weekend schools abroad. He was followed by speeches from Dr L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Risk\u00f3-Nagy, Consul General; \u00c9va Norton, President of MAOSZ; and Dr Vikt\u00f3ria K\u00f6vecsesn\u00e9 G\u0151si, Director of the Centre for Teacher and Educator Training at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University. Participants then took part in five workshops designed to develop their skills. As Dr Vikt\u00f3ria K\u00f6vecsesn\u00e9 G\u0151si noted, many attendees had already completed the University\u2019s free two-semester specialised postgraduate course in Hungarian Language and Culture Teaching in the Diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the training, volunteer teachers from the weekend schools learned about drama pedagogy and the design of drama lessons through the workshop led by Anett Balogh-P\u00e9csi, Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Educational Sciences and Psychology. Dr Vikt\u00f3ria K\u00f6vecsesn\u00e9 G\u0151si explored the role of storytelling in pedagogy through various exercises, while Dr Erzs\u00e9bet V\u00e1rszegin\u00e9 G\u00e1ncs, Assistant Professor, used folk games and songs to demonstrate methods of musical skill development. Assistant Lecturer Evelin Balogh presented strategies for developing the skills essential to learning, and Associate Professor Dr B\u00e1lint Lampert led a workshop on fostering attachment to place and local identity. The day concluded with a presentation by Hedvig Gonda, Head of the Hungarian Weekend School in Southampton, who offered insights into the school\u2019s activities and shared effective practices for working with teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/admissions.sze.hu\/images\/News\/2025_10\/diaszpora\/diaszp%C3%B3ra_K%C3%A9p2.webp\" alt=\"Among the presenters at the Manchester programme were Dr B\u00e1lint Lampert, Associate Professor\u2026\" title=\"Among the presenters at the Manchester programme were Dr B\u00e1lint Lampert, Associate Professor\u2026\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Among the presenters at the Manchester programme were Dr B\u00e1lint Lampert, Associate Professor\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/admissions.sze.hu\/images\/News\/2025_10\/diaszpora\/diaszp%C3%B3ra_K%C3%A9p3.webp\" alt=\"\u2026 and Dr Vikt\u00f3ria K\u00f6vecsesn\u00e9 G\u0151si, Director of the Centre for Teacher and Educator Training at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University.\" title=\"\u2026 and Dr Vikt\u00f3ria K\u00f6vecsesn\u00e9 G\u0151si, Director of the Centre for Teacher and Educator Training at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2026 and Dr Vikt\u00f3ria K\u00f6vecsesn\u00e9 G\u0151si, Director of the Centre for Teacher and Educator Training at Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the closing day, Istv\u00e1n Bori, Head of the Department for Diaspora and M\u00e1rton \u00c1ron Programmes at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, provided an overview of the opportunities and training schemes offered by the Ministry.
