Since 2012, we have been organizing environmental protection and health education programs. Seeing the interest that adults and children showed for the programs, we decided to run regularly activities around the subjects. The Eco-Design program is composed of several smaller sub-programs during which participants learn how to create decorative accessories from waste materials, make modern textiles for home decoration from old cloths, and moke scarves from wool.

In 2015, we organized the artistic, Ironic/Satire program called Consumer Society versus Happiness, for which we invited young artists. The participants described Szekler consumer society and expressed their opinion about it in animated GIF graphic files.
