Andrea Zsebe PhD, Dean of Faculty, and Éva Feketéné Szabó PhD, Vice-Rector of Semmelweis University, participated in the annual conference of the Professional Conductive Association (PCA) in the United Kingdom, hosted by the Rainbow Centre.
The PCA – the official umbrella organization for conductors working in the UK – held its conference on the 7th of March in the city of Havant, titled “Connections: Inspiring Progress Through Partnership.” As the András Pető Faculty (APF) is keen to build and revitalize international collaborations, it was a great pleasure that both Andrea Zsebe and Éva Feketéné Szabó were invited to the event.
During the day, the audience heard very interesting and enlightening lectures and case studies about conductive education. However, the main event was a round-table discussion featuring Andrea Zsebe, Éva Feketéné Szabó, Enikő Kocsis – Chair of the PCA and host of the conference – and Annamária Berger-Jones, Conductive Education Course Lead and Lecturer at Birmingham University. They shared their thoughts on three main topics: the most significant changes in conductive education over the last 20 years, the challenges it faces in the 21st century, and possible cooperation between Hungary and the UK.
The APF delegation also had the opportunity to visit the NICE conductive institution in Birmingham and the Rainbow Centre during their stay in the UK.
