The HospiEdu initiative helps children to effectively study when in hospital by transforming learning materials into a game. Children receiving long term hospital care face many challenges, such as how they can keep up with their classmates. HospiEdu supports the education of children receiving long term hospital care: we connect them with our student volunteers (under adult supervision) who provide them with tailor-made and gamified e-learning materials via www.e-studygroup.com.

Skool is an independent Hungarian organization, the main project of the Foundation for Technology Education. Girls and women play an increasingly important role in modern society. Our future is determined by the direction the technological development will take. We are not only aware of this, but also working to support such development. We undertook a large mission to provide useful and usable technological knowledge to young girls and women in a new form of education as an independent organization, on a non-profit basis. We could even say: out of love.

The training is designed to enable students to become savvy creators of technology instead passive users of it. The study groups develop abstract thinking and provides an opportunity to practice project planning and cooperation. Courses start from three age groups: in kindergarten and in junior and senior elementary schools. All students receive theoretical and practical training in accordance with their age and capabilities.

Urban gardening organizes people with different ages and backgrounds in community who can use the acquired knowledge in the other fields of  life.

The aim of KÉK is to assist in the development of the urban gardening movement with sample garden design and with establishing a comprehensive knowledge base.

The mentoring program is special even when compared to a broad range of its European counterparts.
