Educator ambassadors support MOME’s ‘Tomorrow Belongs to You’ programme

Date: 2025.02.13
The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) launched the ‘Tomorrow Belongs to You’ programme in autumn 2023, aimed at supporting disadvantaged secondary school students in accessing creative careers. The initiative provides professional and mental support to students to help them pass the admission entrance examination of art higher education institutions. The key to the programme’s effectiveness, however, lies in involving committed teachers who not only motivate but also offer practical advice to help young people unlock their talents. The scholarship programme for teachers, launched last year, is now moving into full gear.

The scholarship programme for teachers is designed to support teachers across the country who help guide their students towards further education with enthusiasm and creative methods. The scholarship provides monthly financial support, professional training, travel grants, education development tools, and knowledge-sharing platforms for participants. It also enables teachers to become part of an inspiring community where they can collaborate on workshops to develop methods for creating opportunities for disadvantaged young people.  

Applications were accepted online between 12 September and 10 November 2024, followed by personal interviews. Nearly 60 applicants from all over Hungary applied, including from Kőbánya, Pesterzsébet, Nádudvar, Baja, Zalaegerszeg, Pécs, Szolnok, Debrecen, as well as Ózd, Miskolc, and Nyíregyháza.  

Important criteria in the evaluation process included community orientation, proactivity, and dedication, with the ability to apply creative teaching methods. Priority was given to those who had already recommended students for the ‘Tomorrow Belongs to You’ scholarship programme.  

A three-member committee made the decision on the applicants, consisting of senior lecturer and teacher Tamás Berky, teacher and MA programme coordinator Dr. Anna Keszeg Phd. Habil, and senior lecturer Péter Vető, DLA. It was no easy task, as only fewer than a quarter of the applicants could be selected for the programme. The committee chose not only teachers from secondary schools specialising in art and those focused on arts education but also teachers from general secondary schools, including those teaching mathematics, physics, Hungarian language and literature, and tourism studies. 

From 2025, 14 teachers will join the mission and visit the campus three times in 2025 to participate in training sessions. The participants will not only take part in workshops at the MOME Campus but also play an active role in promoting the ‘Tomorrow Belongs to You’ scholarship programme and supporting talented students. In addition to active community building, knowledge-sharing, and participation in collaborative thinking, they will be able to incorporate the best practices and local experiences shared during the programme’s events into their own teaching programmes.
