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.

We are thrilled to share a unique experience that some of the Grade 9 students at Avicenna International College recently had. On a bright and sunny day, these students took their mathematics class outside, in the school yard. The benefits of holding classes outdoors are numerous and well-known. Fresh air, natural light, and a change of environment can help students feel more engaged and focused, leading to improved academic performance. Moreover, spending time outside can have positive effects on mental health and overall well-being, which is especially important. Ms. Hanie, AIC Mathematic teacher, who led [...]

The 1848 Hungarian revolution, also known as the Spring of Nations, was a pivotal event in Hungary's and Europe's modern history.

The revolution marked the beginning of a new era in Hungarian history, and it fundamentally changed the course of the country's political and social development. The Hungarian Revolution of 1848 is commemorated annually on [...]
