GYÖNGYÖS,

MAĎARSKO

Gyöngyös je druhá najväčšie mesto v okrese Heves, centrum okresu Gyöngyös, s približne 27 000 obyvateľmi. Prvá písomná zmienka o meste pochádza z 13. storočia, no podľa najnovších historických výskumov to bolo už pri dobývaní, v 9. - 10. storočí kedy tu už žili obyvatelia.
História mesta Gyöngyös je prepletená s vinohradníctvom a výrobou vína, ktoré dodnes poskytuje obživu mnohým v meste a okolí. Gyöngyös je centrálnou obcou vinohradníckej oblasti Mátra, ktorá je druhou najväčšou vinárskou oblasťou v Maďarsku a má najväčšiu rozlohu.
Mesto na rozhraní Veľkej nížiny a Severného stredohoria je známe aj ako brána do Mátry, no ašpirácie posledných rokov smerujú k tomu, aby sa stalo hlavným mestom Mátry. Tu leží najvyšší vrch Maďarska Kékestető a najvyššie položené jazero v krajine Sástó. Mátra je so svojou vynikajúcou vybavenosťou, dobrým vzduchom a kvalitným ubytovaním jednou z najobľúbenejších turistických destinácií v krajine.

TÂRGU SECUIESC,

RUMUNSKO

Târgu Secuiesc bol prvýkrát spomenutý v roku 1407 a vyhlásený za veľtrh v roku 1427 kráľom Žigmundom. Mesto malo v stredoveku významný cechový priemysel. Jeho zvláštnosťou je, že hlavné námestie obklopujú domy s dvormi. Kedysi slúžili ako trhoviská. Dnes je v meste 70 dvorov. Târgu Secuiesc sa nazýva aj mestom cechov, brán a dvorov, no mestečko sa nazývalo aj Paríž troch stolíc. Väčšina budov na hlavnom námestí Kézdivásárhely bola postavená v druhej polovici 19. storočia a začiatkom 20. storočia. Múzeum histórie cechu Lászlóa Incze sídli v budove bývalej radnice, postavenej v roku 1857.

ŁODYGOWICE,
POĽSKO

Mesto Lodygowice sa nachádza v južnom Poľsku a má viac ako 14 000 obyvateľov. Nachádza sa v malebnom prostredí a napája sa priamo k jazeru Zywiecki. Vďaka dobre rozvinutej horskej cestnej sieti je veľmi ľahko dostupná pre turistov. Nachádza sa tu množstvo pamiatok vrátane neogotického zámockého a parkového komplexu alebo rímskokatolíckeho dreveného kostola postaveného v rokoch 1631-1634.

Je tiež veľmi známa vďaka folklórnemu súboru Magurzanie a zboru Magurzanki. Doteraz súbor vystúpil 550-krát a zbor 720-krát v mnohých európskych krajinách.

LUCENEC,
SLOVENSKO

Mesto Lučenec je kultúrnym a hospodárskym centrom regiónu Novohrad a geografickým centrom južnej časti stredného Slovenska, o ktorom sa spomínajú prvé písomné zmienky v roku 1247. Nádherné secesné budovy lemujú ulicu T.G. Masaryka vďaka jej rozvoju v 19. storočí. Sídlili tu aj početné bankové inštitúcie, obchodné domy a Novohradská knižnica, ktorá funguje dodnes. Srdcom historického jadra mesta je Kubínyiho námestie, ktoré vzniklo na mieste starej tržnice pravdepodobne v stredoveku. Je tiež domovom historickej budovy Reduty, dvoch kostolov a Novohradského múzea a galérie, ako aj historickej Radnice. Jednou z najvyhľadávanejších a najpôsobivejších budov v tomto meste je zrekonštruovaná Synagóga.
Ak si chcete posedieť a oddýchnuť si v krásnom prírodnom prostredí, navštívte park vybudovaný vo francúzskom, anglickom a krajinárskom štýle, ktorý patrí k najkrajším na Slovensku. Srdečne vás pozývame na návštevu!

2. NGO training in Gyöngyös

Leaders of civil society organisations from four cities met in Gyöngyös in the framework of the Citizens for Towns project, 09-11 August 2024. At the Hungarian meeting, delegations from Gyöngyös, Targu Secuiesc (Transylvania, Romania), Lodygowice (Poland) and Lucenec (Slovakia) took part in a full-day training session, in addition to cultural and gastronomic programmes. The programme started with a city quiz on Friday, during which foreign visitors had to answer questions about the city in a playful way, and ended with dinner and wine tasting. On Saturday, the programme continued with a full day of training. With the help of trainers Katalin Fekete and Katalin Sabján, the present members of national and foreign NGOs took part in a one-day training in a playful way. The aim of the programme was to enable the members of the delegations to get to know each other better and to brainstorm and create a development strategy together. During the morning, the towns were organised into teams, and in the afternoon, with the help of the trainers, the training continued in mixed teams, with the organisers occasionally adding team games. In the programme, the trainers focused primarily on what can be achieved by the civil society organisations of a city without any special financial investment, simply by joining forces. During the programme, it soon became clear that the protection of the environment and the improvement and beautification of their immediate surroundings was a priority for the civic community. By the end of the day, they had created a joint project repository of ideas for improvement that they had developed together. The programme ended with a gala performance by the Tomory Gábor Folk Dance School, where members of the delegations themselves joined the dance on stage at the end of the evening.

4. Lodygowice Harvest Festival

On September 7-9, 2024, the penultimate stationary event in 2024 took place in Łodygowice, hosted by the Łodygowice Commune. Three foreign delegations came to Łodygowice: from Hungary (Gyöngyös), Slovakia(Lucenec) and Romania(Targu Secuiesc), a total of over 75 people represented by representatives of social organizations operating in their area. The topic of the meeting was called: "Through culture to friendship." The organizations participating in the project included entities dealing with: culture, sports, education, health prevention, and grassroots social initiatives, which had the opportunity to present their activities during the opening conference of the "Citizens for Towns" project on September 7 2024. The conference participants included representatives of organizations from Łodygowice commune who actively participated in the partnership project, taking part both in trips abroad this year as well as in planned events in Łodygowice commune. During the Conference, the participants symbolically created a work in the form of a common tree, which was a reference to the trees planted as part of the partnership in the city of Gyöngyös. The first day of the project ended with a joint sports event in which all delegations took part. Integration through sport was an opportunity to build cooperation, despite the language barrier.
The second day of the guests' visit was an opportunity for them to participate in the Municipal Harvest Festival organized this year in Pietrzykowice, which gathered many residents and observers. The project participants took part in the Parade and then in the official harvest festival ceremonies. They had the opportunity to meet residents and organizations from the Łodygowice area again, this time acting as hosts who proudly presented their local heritage during the Municipal Harvest Festival. Then the delegations went together to visit the Żywiec Brewery Museum, exploring the traditions of brewing, and to know good practice to use these traditions in the tourism. The event in Łodygowice was an opportunity to get to know each other about Polish, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian and Slovenian cultures, and for non-governmental organizations it was an opportunity to strengthen international cooperation. The aim of the project is to create opportunities to deepen cooperation. Project participants took advantage of this opportunity during project events in Łodygowice.
