We are excited to announce some significant updates to our Foundation Programs at Avicenna International College. These changes are designed to better reflect the academic content and career pathways offered by each program. Effective immediately, the following updates have been made:
Soft Skills and Emotional Intelligence for teachers and educational staff From the Avicenna International College (AIC) in Budapest I took part in an Erasmus short term mobility course-called-Soft Skills and Emotional Intelligence for teachers and educational staff- in Palermo, Italy in August of 2023. The course was organised by the Erasmus Learning Academy (ELA) and led by Ms Giulia Amato. I took this opportunity for a variety of reasons- mainly to improve my soft skills and with a new approach adopt them in the classroom later. I was keen on meeting international colleagues for future cooperation to [...]
Last week marked a significant event for Avicenna Holding as its President embarked on a visit to the premises of the Uzeltekhsanoat association, an esteemed industrial organization. This visit was a result of a series of developments that transpired over the past few months.
The INTERNATIONAL NUMISMATIC COLLECTORS FESTIVAL is organized by the HUNGARIAN NUMISMATIC COLLECTORS SOCIETY in cooperation with Avicenna Holding, Hungarian Mint Ltd. and Procopius Numizmatika in 2023. At the meeting, which is held once a year,we expect foreign interested parties in addition to domestic medal collectors. At the meeting, interested parties can discuss all topics of numismatics.

Flipped Classroom – Anatolia Education, Paris, France (10–15 July, 2023) I participated in my second Erasmus+ course during the summer holiday of 2023. I chose the „Flipped Classroom” course because the flipped classroom is a new method which I would like to integrate into my methodologies and in my opinion it would be useful to introduce in my school during the dissemination, and it would become one of our new classroom methods in the Avicenna International College. On the other hand I wanted to travel to France too. I was in Paris about 20 years ago, and I [...]
On last day of the academic year 2022-23, on 16 June, just one day after the very highly quoted and memorable 3 day-long School Trip to Sopron and Vienna, we organized a short but concise End of the Year Ceremony.
36 AIC participants took part in this year’s School Trip to go to Sopron and Vienna on 13-15 June. We were 26 students and 10 colleagues strong, including our 5 Italian Erasmus students and their accompanying teacher for the trip Agatino, who came to us on a Job Shadowing assignment for the last week of the 2022-23 academic year.
On 2 June our Students and Colleagues celebrated the much-awaited second edition of an Avicenna sequel called International Student Festival (AISF2). This Festival is the celebration of diversity and cultural awareness at AIC and its popularity and importance is on the rise as many more AISFs will follow. This time among our invited guests you could find the mayor of our district 8 András Pikó and representatives of distinguished Budapest based universities such as the Metropolitan University, IBS and Milton Friedman University, then the Venezuelan Embassy, supporters from the Indian Cultural Centre, Korean Cultural Centre, Vietnamese Cultural Centre [...]
Sustainability and Innovation Project Week took place at Avicenna International College between 24-28th of April. Preparation for the programs started weeks in advance in order to make this a meaningful event for AIC high school students. Students were divided into groups as a way to strengthen cohesiveness and teamwork of the AIC community, and were given specific topics to research and eventually present to their fellow students.
After years of preparation and hard work, AIC was finally given the opportunity to offer short-term Erasmus+ mobility experiences to our high school students. This semester, fully embarking on this project, we have completed two trips: first to Italy with a group of older students, and then to Ireland with another group of the younger ones. Ten students were selected to spend two weeks in Ireland accompanied by their history teacher, Mr. Mark. Within this short-term Erasmus program, we took part in a so-called “Authentic Irish Experience” project which meant that we were accommodated by local Irish families in Dublin for the duration of our stay and took part in a two-week course provided by Apollo Language Center. The students spent their classes engaging in interactive learning activities with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of Irish history, language and culture, and also to expand their knowledge and consciousness of intercultural values and European citizenship.
