We have invited 35 Hungarian children under state care (from Kisújszállás, Tamási, Iregszemcse and Békéscsaba, who came with the delegations) for this meeting.
During our different events we combine sport and culture in order to raise the children’s interest and motivation, and through the several experiences we hope that we can help their more successful socialization. If this happens, we can say, that we did something for the future of the next generation.
Socialization is the most important goal of our programs, not the results. Sport is the mean of the pedagogical work.
We asses, that the project organised by the Weightlifting and Free-Time Sport Club of Soroksar reflected the basic principles of our initiative truly and worthily.
In our opinion the “Together for the Education of the Youth of the V4 – 11th Cultural and Sport Meeting” was an integrated cultural, sport and educative event of the Visegrad Four. It was a great opportunity for the guest from different foreign countries for getting to know not only the vocation of the organizers, but also the aims and the succesfull supportive role of the IVF.
The Duna TV made a summery of the event on the spot, that was/will be showed in different sport programs. The achievements of the championship emphasizing the support of the IVF was/will be on the national sports paper, the ‘Nemzeti Sport’. The reporter of the Civil Radio was also on the spot, whose summary was broadcast in the block called 'Sport Porta' with results and representation of the union of culture and sport of the Visegrad Four that can serve as an example for everyone. In the local newspapers, the 'Soroksári Hírlap', ‘Budapest 7 nap’ and the ‘Helyi Théma’ a pre-announcement was published, and a detailed article of the event will published.
Among these, the inhabitants of southern-Pest (District XXIII., XX., IX.) and cities belonging to its conurbation (almost a 100,000 people) got to know about our 11th, with the help of the IVF the 7th cultural and sport meeting by the regional newspapers, posters (2000 pieces) and leaflets (4000 pieces).
