In-Town english

phasize the integration of education. Especially tools
of sport and art.
What did the project give us?
Beyond that we have met lot of nice and kind people
during the visits, we have learnt so many practices,
and saw good examples about how to make the life
of disabled children and adults easier.
We were impressed about visit of a factory, which
employed people with disabilities in Grevesmühlen.
Particularly appealing is that kind of attention, and
care, which they got during the work. We saw and
experienced personally how wonderful they feel
themselves. We had the pleasure to talk with them. It
was especially likeable to see that free time activities
are organized on afternoons, for example playing
music with Mike Reschke, and playing and drawing
club with Heidrun Lange.
The educational system was our favorite issue in
Sweden. Handicapped and healthy children can
learn together in the same school. This is one of the
highest level of integration what we have met. The
educational system in Hungary is segregated, which
means that children with disabilities have to learn
separately. We believe it is very important that children
should get to know that, different,, children are
existing too. It is useful for their personal developing
and creating their open mind view. The result would
be more easily acceptance and support of handicapped
people by the society.
The visited institutions and boarding school were
impressed us in Portugal. It was nice to see that how
comfortable places are and the nurses were very
kind and gentle. Well-trained teachers, good facilities
and well-organized educational system welcomed
us. We are very proud to know „coach of the
year”, Carlos.
We could not experience the Polish system personally,
but we saw many good examples through presentations.
We heard about there are several good
professional trainers in Grzmiąca.
We think, we have learnt a lot and have seen good
practices.
Although our actual financial possibilities cannot
enable to establish similar educational institutions
in our little town now, but we already being closer to
achieve our plans and dreams with participation in
the project. This was the first steps for reaching great
successes. There are so many good examples that
small steps have huge positive results too.
In which topic can we imagine to exchange of experience?
Both professional contacts and personal friendships
formed during the meetings.
We are very proud of the twin city agreement with
Grevesmühlen, what was signed in Nagymaros in
2014. The civil and official cooperation between the
two towns has been working since ‘60s. We look forward
to continue our relationship further student
exchange programs and cultural cooperation.
Furthermore, we intend to improve the integration
of handicapped people in fields of sport and art education
in the local primary school. We consider the
importance of changing the experiences, and asking
support and opinion of those professionals, who
have many years of experience.
