Transylvanian School of Politics<br />
The Transylvanian School of Politics was founded in 2017 in conjunction with the Democratic Alliance<br />
of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ) and the Hungarian Youth Conference (MIÉRT). This<br />
program enables young people to effectively represent the values and interests of minority Hungarian<br />
communities in local public affairs. During the training course, held in both Hungarian and English,<br />
school members gain insight into the workings of political parties and campaigns, the process of community<br />
building, public opinion polling, and develop their leadership skills through training in negotiation,<br />
rhetoric, and presentation techniques. Based on small group work, the program also provides<br />
opportunities for young adults to develop their skills and take part in discussions with noted and renowned<br />
Hungarian and foreign experts and practicing politicians.<br />
The training weekends take place at four different locations: Cluj-Napoca, Sfântu Gheorghe, Bucharest,<br />
Brussels, and Budapest.<br />
The program is supported by the Pro Iuventute Association.<br />
