Our philosophy
Why is a kindergarten good? Why is a teacher good? Why a school?
Because of the training courses? Because of supervision and evaluations? Perhaps because of quality management or partners' feedback? Summing up our experiences of so far have we realised that all the tools are just tools. The point is something different. The point is chocolate. Chocolate that is delicious, chocolate that we eat since it is good for us, since it is a pleasure. It contains endorphins and it is healthy as there is more antioxidants in it than in most fruits. Kindergarten and school is good because those who work there enjoy their work. It is good to be there and they are eager to be there on Monday again. Not because it is obligatory but because it is a pleasure!
For teachers would we like to be a square of chocolate which gives energy, pep and renewal.
This is our mission put in practice for a long time but put in words just recently: to give self-confidence and energy to teachers working with us with professional intensity so that they do their job motivated and with good humour.
Our motto is just one word: possible.
It is possible to do our job with pleasure and excitement, it is possible to make plans and realise them. Only with this attitude can we educate children who work, make plans and realise them with pleasure and excitement, children who will become adults and parents of the same kind. Would you like this?

Study Visit on CPD and on e-Training organised by H & D
Between 3 and 7 October, our company has hosted 13 educationalists from all over Europe for a one-week study visit. The study course, organised in the frame of the EU's Lifelong Learning Programme and co-ordinated by CEDEFOP (Study Visit, former Arion), got the number 54th in the course catalogue, entitled 'E-Training and Other Forms of Teachers' Continuing Professional Development'. Participants arrived from 9 different countries: United Kingdom, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Romania and Spain. Most of the colleagues work as a teacher or headmaster, some of them in public service providers where they organise CPD among other education-related services. The aim of our programme was to give an overall insight to the Hungarian initial teacher training, as well as to CPD, particularly to e-learning forms of CPD. Finally, colleagues could in practice be trainers and trainees and follow two modules of our e-Training courses in English, live.
Please find the programme of the Study Visit here.

National Academy Foundation was founded in 1982 in New York. The primary aim of the foundation is to help young people from disadvantaged background enter the labour market. During the recent decades, the foundation has done even much more than this: connecting the fields of business and of education, it has offered a career opportunity for a mass of young people. NAF offers courses and orientation training courses in the fields of IT, engineering, finance, and tourism.
For NAF, it is important to be recognised at international level, therefore it requested our company to evaluate its curriculum Hospitality and Tourism for Global Travel and Tourism Partnership (GTTP). It is a module-based, on-line curriculum out of which American high schools joining the programme may choose to build up their own offer. Background materials of several hundreds of pages, sources that help teachers and exercises described in details give a perfect assistance for teachers.

GTTP (Global Travel and Tourism Partnership), international umbrella organisation of Hungarian programme Travel and Tourism held its annual meeting for directors in China. Horváth & Dubecz Ltd. is contacted by Global Initiatives Inc., US to provide professional support to the Hungarian upper secondary school programme (run by the Foundation for School Development). During the October meeting, where 11 programme member countries' delegates participated, we had the opportunity to get an insight in our Chinese friends' burning educational issues, too. The essence was summed up by Lianping Ren, Eve, a young teacher living in Ningbo: "The problem in our country is that teachers only explain the curriculum. In other words, they transfer knowledge to the children. And children, on the occasions of exams, give back all what they had acquired. So finally, there is nothing they can keep for themselves..." A nice idea.
