All
Module Aims
The objective of the course is to display the multicultural character of the present-day Hungarian society, with a historical background. Focusing on different social groups on a broad scale, in the context of such approaches like: human rights; discrimination; tolerance; ‘otherness’; political representation; articulation of special interest; relations between minority and majority groups; intercultural interactions etc. The aim is to acquaint the students with the heterogeneous structure and conflicts of the civil society and also with the role of the political sphere in solving these problems. By the end of the course the students are expected to have a general overview on the history of the main Hungarian minority groups (like ethnic and religious ones) and to know the actors and the nature of multicultural conflicts.
Module Subject
Though the historically characteristic ethnic and cultural variegation became simpler after the 1st world war, Hungary was far from being uniform. After the transition from communism to capitalism, civil society was emerging and a colorful set of different social groups was forming the new social environment. Beside the ‘classic’ minority groups, taking place on either side of the social cleavages, new groups gained recognition. Though the earlier banned or not tolerated groups (and their values and behaviors) got gradually constitutional protection in Hungary, the conservative attitude is confronting with such ‘non classic’ subcultures like that of gay peoples or drug addicts. The module is basically focusing on these ‘new’ social groups of present-day Hungary.

Module Aims
Objectives of the course: This course introduces students to key elements of health promotion practice across a wide variety of health contexts including individual and community health and health-related contexts of organisations. The learning activities in this Field Practice course are designed to provide students personal experiences about the practical aspects of health promotion theory, analysis, activities and evaluation. To maximize student learning experiences, the Field Practice course engages field practice coordinators also in the design and delivery of workshops and where possible, includes targeted field trips.
Module Subject
This course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the foundations of health promotion practice. The course could focus on the possible health promotion strategies in a variety of organisational settings considering the students’ own interests. Course learning activities will focus on developing students' understanding of theoretical perspectives and practical methods which influence the preparation, implementation and evaluation of health promotion strategies in various organisations.
Objectives of the course: The proper level knowledge of the phenomena and regularities of human communication, and the knowledge of effective means and strategies of communication (their development in practice). It is very important for all professionals working in different helping professions or who are preparing for a career like this. The development of communication skills equally serves the conscious usage of the „work-tool”, its continuous improvement and personal effectiveness. The subjective experience gained through all these can have an important role in preserving the mental balance of teachers as well. It is a very important aim that the student participating at communication skills development training should enlarge his repertoire of behaviours, realise his communicational tools and possible failures. There should be more effective solutions reachable in given situations in a way, that their application should still keep his personality congruent.
Module Subject
Practice: We direct attention to the elements of observable behaviour, and to the general and personal features of communication with the help of a video-feedback method. The participating observers are at the same time acting as models. Attached to the observed communicational phenomenon there is an education embedded in thematic discussions during the group-work.
The topics of the developmental programs:
We will deal with the general features of informal human communication. We will focus on the basic phenomena of communication, the verbal and non-verbal channels and meta-communication.
Distortion of information, incongruence of verbal and non-verbal signs, typical faults as a result of subjective evaluation, modelling of communicational strategies.
