Közterem

Turn Your Class into a Team!

The Közterem program is a series of classroom-based training sessions designed for students from the 3rd grade up to high school graduation. Through interactive activities that require teamwork and collaboration, students develop essential social skills while strengthening group cohesion—helping their class become a real team.

What is it?

The goal of Közterem sessions is to enhance cooperation, a win-win mindset, effective communication, conflict resolution, adaptability, critical thinking, and proactivity, while also fostering stronger group cohesion. We welcome applications from classes in grades 3-12, not only for classroom sessions but also as an engaging program element for class trips.

Közterem Workshops

For Classes

Közterem sessions are delivered in a concentrated format: in Budapest, over 2×3 lessons, and in other locations, as a single 6-lesson session.

Our methods include training exercises, role-playing, board games, and debate. The program is available for grades 3-12, not only as classroom workshops but also as part of class trips.

For Teachers

We offer informational and professional workshops for teachers, providing an insider’s perspective on the objectives and content of Közterem sessions. These workshops also allow teachers to experience the methods firsthand, just as students do. Additionally, teachers can discuss classroom challenges, practical questions, and specific case studies in a professional setting.

Közterem – A Community-Building Training Series for Dialogue
Erasmus+ Project

Through the Erasmus+ grant, we have launched a two-year project to implement a series of Közterem sessions focusing on social skills (teamwork, self-awareness, social sensitivity) and civic and democratic competencies (effective communication, debating skills, advocacy).

Thanks to this project, every six months, we provide free community-building workshops for 120 students, helping turn classes into real teams!

This project was funded by the European Commission.

"I became much more open towards others."

"I feel closer to classmates I wasn’t really friends with before."

"I listen to others' opinions, I can understand their viewpoints, and express my own thoughts based on that. The game helped me try to form arguments even for opinions that oppose my own."
