Between Family and School : Who is responsible for raising the next generation?

Grand Hotel Aranybika Piac u. 11-15, debrecen, Hungary

MCC Debrecen Educational Center holds a lecture in English about the role of the family and the school on the 24th of March. Description: Teachers and parents share many goals. Both seek to educate, nurture and discipline children. However, this similarity hides crucial differences. Families operate in the private sphere of the home and are motivated by love for one another whereas teachers work in the public realm of the school and aim to ensure children master academic skills and gain subject knowledge. When we lose sight of these differences, tensions can arise.  Joanna Williams explores the changing roles of teachers and parents in raising children. She argues that confusion over responsibilities undermines adult authority in general, to the detriment of children, education and family life; and suggests a path towards resolution. Information about the event: The lecturer at the event will be the Founder and Director of the Cieo think tank, MCC Visiting Fellow, Joanna Williams, The presentation will be in English. The event is free to attend but registration is required. In interested please register at the following link: https://mcc.hu/esemenyregisztracio/a-csalad-es-az-iskola-szerepe-ki-felel-a-kovetkezo-nemzedek-neveleseert Registrations can be submitted until 12:00 p.m. 24th March, 2025.   Everyone interested in this topic is welcomed!

Exhibition of Rarely Seen Elvis Relics Opened

Józsa Community Centre Szentgyörgyfalvi út 9, Debrecen-Józsa, Hungary

On the 8th of January, Elvis Aaron Presley, the singer, musician and actor considered the king of rock and roll, would have celebrated his 90th birthday. To mark the occasion, DEMKI Józsa Community Centre is organising an exhibition of Gábor Szilágyi's collection. The collector said he had idolized the icon, who lived only forty-two years, for nearly five decades. Ever since Gábor Szilágyi fell in love with Presley's music, he has been fanatically collecting all relics related to the singer and singing his songs. He emphasised that he wants to present the king of rock and roll to the public from a lesser-known side, and at the beginning of his fandom, the hunt for Elvis relics was particularly difficult. “When I fell in love with his music, it was still difficult to acquire anything about him, but the joy of waiting made the time spent on this worthwhile. I also want to introduce the artist and the musician at exhibitions and during my singing evenings, but I would rather have interested parties get to know Elvis as a generous, deeply feeling person,” he said. The vinyl records, CDs, posters, advertising materials and other relics acquired by Gábor Szilágyi are also […]
