Coordinating organization

Anthropolis Antropológiai Közhasznú Egyesület was founded in 2002 as a public benefit non-profit association based in Budapest, Hungary. The organization intends to promote the values of cultural relativism, participatory approach, citizens' empowerment, and awareness of global issues. In order to introduce the global perspective in institutional education and strike up social discourse, Anthropolis has created media and awareness-raising campaigns, educational programs and materials, and documentaries focused on the topics of global learning, cultural heritage of minorities, fair trade, migration, gender equality, and contemporary slavery.

Global Learning (developing and distributing educational materials, organizing workshops and courses for both students and teachers) and Digital storytelling (DST) are the main working areas of Anthropolis. We are one of the main and most active promoters of global learning in Hungary.

Anthropolis has been working in the field of education (both formal and non-formal) since 2004. During these years we have built an extensive network of schools and teachers to whom we deliver workshops, promote our activity, and involve teachers and educators from all levels of education.

Age

Hey there, imagine a magical village tucked away in the hills of Hungary, called Hollókő! It's like something out of a fairytale. This village is so special that it got a fancy title from UNESCO, kind of like winning a big award! Hollókő is super old and full of stories, just like a history book come to life. The name "Hollókő" means "Raven Stone" in Hungarian, which sounds pretty cool, right? It's like a secret code that only the village knows! And guess what? Everywhere you look, there are these cute little houses with roofs like hats and streets made of cobblestones. It's like walking into a picture! And the best part? Nature is all around, giving you big hugs with its green trees and fresh air. So, if you ever get the chance to visit Hollókő, get ready for an adventure straight out of your wildest dreams!

Location

In the middle of the serene landscapes and rich heritage of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Holloko, Anthropolis Association eagerly anticipates hosting our seminar, PLAYADR: Promoting Learning in ADR through Youth-oriented Playful Approaches, at Creative Space. This idyllic setting, nestled in the embrace of nature, provides the perfect backdrop for our shared goal of fostering innovative learning approaches.

Hey there! We've been thinking a lot about how we can be kinder to our planet, so for this week, we're going to try something special. We're going to cut down on our meat-eating and have half of our meals (that's lunches and dinners) without any meat at all. Pretty cool, huh? And guess what? Hungarian food is super tasty even without meat! So, for all you meat lovers out there, get ready to be surprised! Being vegetarian is about more than just salads – it's about exploring new flavors and having fun with food. Oh, and if you have any special food needs, don't worry one bit! We'll make sure to talk to the kitchen and take care of everything. So let's dig in and enjoy some delicious, planet-friendly meals together!

We always suggest checking the weather forecast before coming, however, we suggest a few things that can be very handy:

• your bottle to fill it with water
  
• indoor shoes, so we can keep the training room as clean as possible
• Outdoor clothes and shoes, the place has great natural surroundings and you probably want to walk a bit around, it can be muddy outside if it rains, so it's better to have suitable clothes for the occasion.
  
• mosquitos repellent
• sun cream, if we do some activities outside it can be very sunny and hot, so better be ready.
• board games if you like to play
• musical instruments, if you play some, would be nice in the evening outside around a fireplace
  

Diversity celebration

Hey everyone! We're all about celebrating our differences and unique quirks, so this time, we're doing something a little different. We invite you to bring something that represents YOU to our gathering. It could be anything – maybe your favorite food or drink that you enjoy every day, or perhaps it's a special object that you've made or that means a lot to you. We're also big fans of creativity, so feel free to get crafty if you want! But hey, if you don't have anything to bring, don't worry about it. You being here is more than enough to make our celebration special. Let's come together and share our stories, our passions, and our little pieces of ourselves in a fun and creative way. Can't wait to see what you all bring to the table!
