A summary of 2023."},"content":{"rendered":"

Our most important event in 2023 is that our association has become a public benefit status<\/em>. Why is this a big change? On the one hand, because from now on we will open up many of our (we think exciting) activities “to the public”, i.e. we will not only offer them to our members. On the other hand, many tender opportunities open up for us newly. And thirdly, supporting a public benefit organization is more suitable for a company or corporation in several respects. We hope that the latter will be possible in a novel framework in 2024. We are already working on it \u2013 not alone, of course, but in partnership.<\/p>\n

The thinking in partnership has not changed, in fact it has strengthened in us. It is not easy to work as an NGO today in the socio-economic environment. But if we work together, we can still achieve much more results, a larger target group, a stronger impact.<\/p>\n

Not only do we sustain ourselves, but we also build strategies, apply, grow and strengthen<\/em>. In 2023, we took a deep breath and applied for the first time independently for the implementation of an international project, of which we are also coordinators. A serious task, a lot of new experience, again great new partnerships.<\/p>\n

We are increasingly trying to communicate to our members<\/em> that they are the best experts in their field, not others. They do not have to wait for solutions from outside, but they have to take the initiative, connect and do something for the betterment of their lives and environment.
\nFortunately, there are many opportunities for this in P\u00e9cs. Whether to have an effective say in the affairs of the municipality or to jointly define goals, with funds that can be spent jointly. Even regular meetings with other organizations, experts, city leaders. Whether it’s the ability to report problems or make the city more accessible.
\nAnd there is our Barrier-free P\u00e9cs Database, the center of our activities. With this, we help a lot for those arriving from P\u00e9cs, Hungary and abroad in predictability and barrier-free tourism.
\nWe felt too the general passivity this year. But People first, so we keep rolling and doing what we already know.<\/p>\n
