Organizers

Our team is responsible for the vocational program of Pszinapszis, so all the lectures and workshops belong to us, either Hungarian or English, chatting or own experience, live or video conference, held by a respected professional or a student. We also cover the orientaion counsel, the info-wall and the poster-section, where you can read about psychological or related field trainings in Hungary and experiments of young talents. We start our work in October with brainstorming about topics of lectures and workshops, producing houndreds of ideas to make sure that only the best ones will get on the program. After putting the last piece to it’s place, begins the next phase of our work: materializing our ideas. That’s when we contact the lecturers with our topic- and title-suggestions, ready to compromise. We also greet them on site, when the date of their lecture or workshop arrives, we announce them to the audience and help to make their stay smooth and pleasant. Our enthusiastic team has 15 members this year and is led by Alíz Komjáthy and Irma Kovács. If you have any questions about the professional program, don’t hesitate to contact us!

During the 3 days of Pszinapszis we can get to know the happenings of the world and our own inner life. In such a situation we are more sensitive to signals, coming either from inside or outside. Here we might get a different, deeper experience of arts than on other rushing weekdays. That’s what the cultural staff is there to help you with. Exhibitions – where we present you the winning creations of young artists inspired by our headtitle – bring freshness to the cavalcade, In the Cinema you can watch the best short movies of our competition. We also show you how we, members of the organizing team see our own paths, mazes – just take a look into our photo-exhibition. The well-known and popular programs are also available in 2010. The Relax Room is open to everyone who needs some rest between lectures. You can do this while listening to relaxing music, enjoying a nice massage, doing yoga or colouring mandalas. On the corridors you can find the members of our graphologist-team, who read your handwriting through the specs of psychology, and the books of Living Library, who can help you to face your prejudices through a nice chat. You can get more information about residents of the Civil Street, who have an important effect on the community. After the exciting lecures and workshops of the day we invite you to stay a bit longer and loose up with funny and relaxing performances or tune for the night with concerts – to close a memorable day according to your mood.

Our job is to popularize Pszinapszis throughout the year, to inform the media about the event and to provide all the financial resources needed. For reaching this goal, we contact different firms and companies to establish two-sided sponsorship. We try to extend our financial limits by submitting applications. We make phonecalls, write tons of e-mails and keep waiting for answers. Besides sponsorship, we also work on audience organization, to make the people hear about us on a wider channel. We publish artikels, inform press ports, organize appearances. We are reasponsible for abroad marketing, to reach as many people beyond our borders as possible. During the 3 days of Pszinapszis we greet the VIP guests, our sponsors and media representatives. Beside all these, we keep in touch with our visitors, surveying their demands to make the event even better for next year. If you have any questions or requests, don’t hesitate to turn to us.
