The presentations provided valuable professional insights for everyone: Katalin Victor Langerné, Deputy State Secretary, presented the latest developments in social inclusion policy, followed by Pál Andó, Head of the North-Hungarian Social Inclusion Directorate, who presented the role of the Social Inclusion Directorate for Social Inclusion in social inclusion policy.

Dávid Kiss, a professional staff member of the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta, presented the long-term development programme of the emerging settlements, emphasising that “helping well” is extremely important: in social inclusion it is not enough to help those lagging behind so that they are still “behind”. Instead they must be helped in a way that they can really, actually work off their disadvantage, catch up and be on the same level as us, the helpers.

Then, Ildikó Szabó-Fazekas from the Deputy State Secretariat, gave a presentation on the planned social inclusion programmes for the period 2021-2027.

Afterwards, a presentation entitled “Those who live and work in the county” was given on a local good practice: the Common Vibe project staff presented the musical activities of the Várkonyi Csibészek.

After a professional consultation, the event ended with a visit to the Presence Point in Vilmány.
