Visit to KÉK – Contemporary Architecture Centre

The way from European Youth Center Budapest to the visiting organization, KÉK was not
supported by the weather. We left the Center in a hurry, since we were a little bit late but were still in a good mood since we were looking forward to getting to know the young Budapest architects’ hub and NGO KÉK. KÉK stands for Kortárs Építészeti Központ (Contemporary Architecture Centre) and is an NGO created in 2005 by architects concerned with using architecture to connect the community.

Visit to The Budapest Methodological Centre of Social Policy and its Institutions (BMSZKI)

 

Our group visited homeless service provider of Budapest Municipality and we weren’t ready for this experience. Homelessness is a big problem in Hungary with over 50 percent of its homeless population (over 11 thousand) residing in Budapest. I can’t pinpoint the exact reason why but this visit stirred a lot of different emotions.
