How can traditional folk art, its associated ancient craft techniques, and materials be reimagined through the lens of contemporary design? This is the central question explored by the Future Traditions programme, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and has become a defining component of the Fashion and Textile Design MA programme at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME). In 2024, the programme took place as part of the Hungarian-Turkish Cultural Season, with MOME students collaborating for a semester with Istanbul's Marmara University. The results of this collaboration will be showcased in an exhibition at the Hungarian Cultural Centre in Istanbul.

The Immersive Beats: 360-degree music video joint hackathon explores the intersections of technology, art, and theoretical research. Organised by MOME’s Media Design programme and Korea's Chung-Ang University, this six-day event brings together Hungarian and South Korean students to fuse music, artificial intelligence, and immersive film technologies. Using AI tools, participants will create unique 360° music videos, blending creativity and cutting-edge technology. Beyond being a creative experiment, this project marks a significant milestone in fostering long-term international collaboration.

The ‘Tomorrow Belongs to You’ teacher scholarship programme has launched, bringing together fourteen secondary school teachers from across Hungary, each with their own unique backgrounds and expertise.
