A delegation from Brigham Young University (BYU), led by Professor Ryan O’Kellems, paid another visit to Bárczi. 🇺🇸

Following the professional program coordinated by Dr. Ágota Szekeres (Institute of Special Needs Education for People with Atypical Behaviour and Cognition), an informal social event took place on April 30, 2026, during which we invited our guests to a communal outdoor cooking session, joined by our students participating in mobility programs. 🇪🇺🥘
Endre Horváth (Institute of Special Needs Education for People with Atypical Behaviour and Cognition) and Sára Horváth (Institute of Special Needs Education for People with Atypical Behaviour and Cognition) prepared games for the participants, which, among other things, helped them learn about the history of the faculty. 🤝

During the shared meal, students from different countries were able to share their cultural experiences with one another in a relaxed setting.

📚 The Faces of Bárczi

For some, recharging comes through quiet, creative activities. How does a childhood hobby later become a defining, joyful pursuit, and how does this relate to teaching? Our series continues with Dr. Csilla Schiffer Nagyné, associate professor at the Institute for General Theory of Special Needs Education.

“I’ve been knitting and crocheting since I was 10 years old. When I returned to work in 2019 after a six-year break to raise my children, I started crocheting bags.

I feel that as an educator, my task is similar to that of crocheting: to connect and shape a wealth of knowledge, to give what has been learned a practical and effective form, and to bring students together, weaving them into a professional fabric. For me, my work as an educator and my creative projects alike bring me great joy, fulfillment, and aesthetic pleasure.”

🌍 Inclusion and Diversity Laboratory – InDi LAB BIP 🌍

What if “innovation” and “diversity” weren’t just words—but tools you actually use? 👓

In this program, you’ll explore your own environment through the InDi lens, working with others to rethink how inclusion appears in everyday spaces—education, culture, sports, and beyond. 🤝

No lectures—just interactive methods, shared thinking, and real exchange. 💬 You’ll connect with others, test ideas in practice, and gradually build a network that extends past the program itself.

We start online, meet in person, then come back together once more to reflect: what changed, what stayed with you, and how do you now see your own environment differently?

Dates:
📅 June 1–5, 2026 (in person)
💻 May 19 & June 25 (online sessions)

‼ Make sure to sign up quickly - we only have 5 spots left to fill!

📚 Faces of Bárczi

For some, cooking is the ultimate way to unwind; for others, it’s physical activity—and sometimes, recharging comes on two wheels. What gives us the energy to face each day, and where do we find that sense of freedom? This time, Dean Dr. Gabriella Papp shares a hobby that is particularly dear to her. 🚲

“I love cycling; I have several bikes. My favorite is the jewel of Hungarian bicycle manufacturing, the Csepel women’s sports model.”

📚 Faces of Bárczi

We’re continuing our series, in which we showcase not only our instructors’ professional work but also their personal stories. What truly energizes them in their daily lives, and what adds a little “spice” to their everyday routines? Diana Berényi, a staff member at the Institute of Special Needs Education for People with Atypical Behaviour and Cognition and Intellectual Disabilities and Learning Disabilities Specialisation, shares her story with us.

“I love to cook! 🍝

I’ve developed this to such a level that in 2017 I enrolled in a culinary program and, two years later, successfully completed the training with a passing exam. I’ve become more skilled, efficient, and faster at kitchen tasks, and my enjoyment of cooking remains undiminished to this day!

When I think back to when I was eleven or twelve and cooked on my own for the first time (I wanted to surprise my parents), it never occurred to me that salt, pepper, or other spices might be needed for the layered potatoes … it’s been quite a journey from there!

P.S.: They ate it!!!”

📚 The Faces of Bárczi

In the next part of our series, you won't see our teacher in the picture. This time, we get a glimpse into the civic activities of Dr. Borbála Bányai, associate professor at the Institute for Disability and Social Participation, who works to protect local communities and the environment.

"I live in the 11th district of Budapest and am a member of a small environmental and community organization called Körtér.(https://www.facebook.com/p/K%25C3%25B6rt%25C3%25A9r-K%25C3%25B6rnyezettudatosak-tere-%25C3% 259Ajbud%25C3%25A1n-100064267646167/ ).
For years, we have been campaigning against overdevelopment in the district together with local civic organizations and the local government. We plant trees with the 10 million Trees Community, have been organizing a day-long garage sale and picnic with the residents of Albertfalva for five years, and hold the Buda Eco Film Club monthly with the Hegyvidék Green Circle and the Kétker Community Foundation. We try to respond to current situations, and we also have ongoing themes such as composting, water conservation, and greening." 🌿

In the center is a slightly tilted photo set within a white frame. The photo shows a young tree supported by wooden stakes, with a small wooden sign in front of it. In the background are multi-story residential buildings and a larger tree, with autumn leaves on the ground. The image refers to the care and greening of a tree planted in an urban environment.

At the bottom of the graphic, in a burgundy band, the text “Did you know about me?” can be read, with Dr. Borbála Bányai’s name listed below it.

📚 The Faces of Bárczi

In this installment of our series, we once again offer a glimpse into the daily life and personal motivations of one of our instructors. This time, Ervin Pál Kapitány, an instructor at Institute for General Theory of Special Needs Education, answers our questions.

"The brush in my hand is not just a tool, but a passport: it takes me wherever my imagination wants to go. Sometimes I feel that it is not me who is painting, but the canvas asking me to give it a little life." 🎨

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The graphic appears on a beige background with burgundy and dark blue circular decorative elements. The inscription "ELTE | BGGYK" appears in the upper right corner.

In the center is a slightly tilted photo in a white frame. There is a collage of five images and one photo, separated by white frames. The images are a combination of paintings and photographs taken during the creative process, all related to painting.

The upper left image shows a ballerina in a light-colored dress, bending down in front of a theatrical, brownish-pink background. The painting on the right, in portrait format, shows a figure wearing a dark hat, sitting or resting, painted with powerful, expressive brushstrokes in brownish-black tones.

The lower left section shows a landscape painting: a large leafy tree stands in a green field against a blue sky and white clouds, with a few red flowers in the grass. In the center is a photograph of a man sitting in front of an easel, painting; several canvases and painting tools can be seen around him.

The lower, wide picture shows an orange-red sunset scene: in the center is the dark silhouette of a deer, behind it the setting sun, vegetation, and a few flying birds.

At the bottom of the picture, in a burgundy band, the words "Did you know about me?" are written in large white letters, with the name "Pál Ervin Kapitány" written in smaller letters below.
