The first semester of the Tomorrow Belongs to You scholarship program concludes

Date: 2024.07.10
All twenty-three participants successfully completed the first semester of the Tomorrow Belongs to You – For the creative talents of the future scholarship programme, launched by MOME for disadvantaged Hungarian high school students with the support of PADME, NTK, and Libri.

The mission of the programme is to put a creative career within the reach of students, and help them pass the admission entrance examination by providing professional and mental preparation. The twelve training weekends were filled with cultural activities, including visits to Ludwig and Light Art Museums, a tour of Budapest, trying rock climbing, rides on the Budapest Eye Ferris wheel, a hike to Hárs Hill, and playing the Balatórium board game. 

The mentorship programmes took place, and students were also given guided tours of the 2024 diploma exhibition. The semester concluded with a picnic together, preceded by a discussion with committee members providing informal feedback on each student's progress and students receiving books that had won the Libri Literary Award as a summer send-off. 

In the next step, in the first week of August, the scholarship recipients will attend a summer camp introducing MOME's programmes to help them choose their preparatory courses more easily.

What place do folklore, climate protection, or isolation have on the runway? What does fashion and fashion design mean to Gen Z? How are the centres and peripheries of the fashion industry shifting in the 21st century? These are just some of the questions explored at this year’s MOME Fashion Show through collections reflecting the latest design thinking and a series of special accompanying events.

Two dedicated members of the faculty have been presented with this year’s Aurum Futuri (Gold of the Future) Award: art historian, curator, and lecturer Kinga German PhD, and design culture researcher and aesthetic theorist Ákos Schneider PhD. Both are professionals who believe in the transformative power of design and education, and whose impact reaches well beyond MOME itself. Now in its third year, the Aurum Futuri Award recognises MOME’s most outstanding educators and researchers, highlighting the value they create through mentoring, educational renewal, and research.

Hogyan támogathatja egy tér a közösségeket, hányféleképp lehet egy traumát a fotográfia segítségével képpé formálni? Miképpen vonhatunk be sérült embereket egyszerű tevékenységekbe, egy kis játékkal hogyan csökkenthetjük a kis elsősök szorongását? A válaszokat az ismét a MOME évnyitóján átadott Stefan Lengyel Kiválósági Ösztöndíj nyertesei mondják el munkáikkal: az idei válogatás egyszerre bizonyítja, hogy a design egy gondolkodásmód, amellyel esélyt teremthetünk, és amely nem nélkülözheti a kutatást és a kísérletezést sem.
