The Kállósemjéni Diákokért és Ifjakért Egyesület’s “Our Talents in Mind Sports” talent development programme, implemented between 1 September 2025 and 31 August 2026, has come to an end. During the programme, 22 young people participated in development activities based on mind sports. The sessions focused on developing strategic thinking, concentration, problem-solving, conscious decision-making, perseverance and independent thinking. In addition to regular professional work,

Our players participated in the 46th Golden Prague international draughts tournament in Prague, where they had the opportunity to test their skills against a strong international field. The classical 100-square international draughts tournament, held between 17–23 August 2026, required several days of serious concentration, perseverance, strategic thinking, and competitive experience from the participants. Our players’ results: Uzonyi Péter – 19th place, 9 points Bettembuk Ná

The professional work of the programme continued during the summer period as well. During the draughts sessions, participants continued practising conscious move planning, evaluating decision-making situations and adapting to their opponent’s play. During the games played together, independent thinking and learning from one another became increasingly important. The young participants evaluated game situations with greater confidence, while their concentration, patience and s

Between July 3-8, 2026, we organised a draughts camp within the framework of project NTP-TEHETSEG-25-0149. The aim of the camp was to support the development of talented young people interested in mind sports, deepen their knowledge of draughts, and strengthen their strategic thinking, concentration, problem-solving skills and ability to adapt to competitive situations. During the programme, participants took part in professional sessions, practice games, analyses and communi

Melodies | Development | Shared Experiences Every melody begins with a single note – and this is how our ZENE–25 – Classics in the Language of Rock! project began as well. Over the past months, the participating children and young people had the opportunity to explore the world of guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, and drums. The sessions were not only about developing instrumental skills, but also about building self-confidence, perseverance, cooperation, and experiencing the j

On June 25, 2026, we organised a bicycle tour within the framework of project NTP-TEHETSEG-25-0149. The aim of the programme was to provide the participating children and young people with a community-based, experience-oriented activity alongside the professional and development sessions. The bicycle tour offered a good opportunity for physical activity, recreation, paying attention to one another and strengthening cooperation as a team. For us, talent development means not o

During the programme sessions, young people develop their logical thinking, attention and foresight in a playful way. In draughts, even a single decision can change the course of a game, so participants continuously practise careful planning and considering the consequences. Practising together also provides an opportunity for the young people to observe, discuss and evaluate one another’s solutions. In this way, mind sports offer challenge, a sense of achievement, learning a

Zene-25-0014 Learning music is not only about notes, but also about perseverance, self-confidence, and shared achievements. During the sessions of the ZENE–25 project, participants gain new experiences each time while becoming increasingly confident in using their instruments. With the help of guitars, drums, and keyboards, the young participants not only develop their technical skills but also experience what it feels like to create together as part of a team. Paying attenti

An important phase of AktionKlub has come to an end. The closing event of the “AktionKlub: Take Action, Stand Up for Your Community!” project provided an opportunity to review the programmes we implemented together, evaluate our experiences, and plan how to continue in the future. During the meeting, the young people looked back together on the events of the past period, discussed the experiences and skills they had gained, and explored how the community, cooperation, and ini

This year, the young people of AktionKlub also took an active role in the Children’s Day programmes, making the day even more colourful with creative activities, group games, and support in organising and running the event. The children could take part in various arts and crafts activities, where they were free to use their imagination while the young people helped and supported them in creating their works. The programme is closely connected to the objectives of AktionKlub,

Draughts requires concentration, patience and foresight at the same time. During the sessions, the young participants learn step by step how to plan ahead, how to pay attention to their opponent’s decisions, and how to choose from several possible solutions. Every game creates a new learning situation. A successful move can reinforce a conscious strategy, while analysing a mistake helps participants recognise what they can do differently next time. In this way, playing togeth

During the rehearsals, more and more new musical ideas and shared experiences are coming to life. The participants are continuously improving their instrumental skills, while becoming increasingly confident in trying out their own rhythms, melodies, and creative solutions. Alongside making music together, attention, cooperation, and finding one’s own place within the shared sound also play an important role. Classical motifs come to life in a modern and energetic form through

During the Erasmus+ mobility project, we had the opportunity to gain insight into the fields of disaster management, emergency preparedness, and search and rescue operations. On the first day of the programme, we were introduced to the host organisation, the objectives of the project, and the basic principles of disaster management and civil protection. We also took part in an introductory programme organised by AFAD, where we learned about rescue operations and disaster resp

The activities focused on developing digital skills, supporting mental well-being, applying logical and cooperative games, and promoting active ageing and dementia prevention. During the programmes, our staff members and participants became familiar with practical methods that strengthen self-confidence, commu

Within the framework of project 2024-1-HU01-KA121-ADU-000195887, special attention was also given to developing young mothers’ financial and household management skills. The sessions focused on financial awareness, household management, planning everyday decisions, budgeting, conscious consumption and responsible family decision-making. This learning process helped participants manage situations related to everyday life with greater confidence and awareness. It is important t

Four participants took part in a training programme on Cultural Heritage within the framework of an Erasmus+ adult education project. For us, the programme’s most important value was that the participants were able to develop their methodological knowledge related to the non-formal education of adult learners, particularly in the fields of cultural heritage, traditions and community values. The training addressed the concepts of culture and cultural heritage, cultural diversi

At the Russian Draughts European Championship in Kemer, Turkey, the classical games came into focus from the third day onwards. In these rounds, instead of quick reactions, the emphasis was on thoughtful decision-making, deliberate planning, and tactical and strategic choices. During the classical games, several hours of play each day determined who could remain calm, persistent, and focused at the board over the longer term. Throughout the seven rounds, our players experienc

During the draughts sessions, participants develop their thinking, patience, and foresight through play. Every game brings a new situation in which concentration, conscious decision-making, and planning moves are important. Through friendly matches and joint analyses, the young participants continuously learn from one another. The programme is not only about developing playing skills: strengthening perseverance, self-discipline, resilience in dealing with setbacks, and indepe

On the second competition day of the Russian Draughts European Championship in Kemer, Turkey, the Rapid rounds of Brazilian draughts took place. In this event, players had to make good decisions within a short period of time, so quick thinking, concentration, and accurate position assessment once again came to the forefront. The members of the Hungarian team also performed well on the second day. The most successful players were: Balogh Noncsi – 7 points Uzonyi Péter – 6 poin
