DemoLab-Szeged Group
Radnóti Miklós Experimental Secondary School,
Szeged
Our main goal is to realise and fine tune the idea of a ’Motivation Centre’. We have in mind an open Space which anyone can visit for inspiration, studying or just having a rest and recharging. At present we are planning the form, setting and division of the ’Space’, how to fill its parts with meaningful content and what kind of aesthetically inspiring, visual environment we want to realise.
Each member of our group undertook a field where they feel comfortable, which is close to their interest. They organise a programme, presentation or activity in line with these themes through which they can show the experience, and effectiveness of the chosen motivational topic.
We advertised our programmes for the rest of the school so anyone can join to get some motivation from our enthusiastic team members.
