 Commemoration

 Horváth Dezsőné dr.

Holding a ceremony on 6 October to mark the anniversary of Dr. Hári’s death is growing into a tradition. This year the commemoration was again organised by the Department of Conductive Pedagogy at Villányi út, in the frame of a festive meeting of our College Senate. The circumstance that 10 years had passed since she left us made the event even more special.

Personal memories were cited (former colleagues recalled their time together). Dr. Erzsébet Balogh’s professional memories and projected photos brought a less familiar side of Dr. Hári closer to us.

Of the subsequent brief recollections by former students we would like to stress here Susie Mallett’s. Andrew Sutton’s lyrical reminiscences followed.*

A pupil of our school performed a verse, then a student conductor recited Zoltán Vitó’s poem on Mária Hári. Finally the conductors’ choir gave a fine performance.

In the end representatives of the College departments and the Practice Institute and pupils from our kindergarten and school placed their wreaths at Dr. Hári’s memorial plaque.

 For photos of the commemoration please visit the Gallery.

Dear Colleagues,

On 6th October 2011 we are going to commemorate Dr. Hári on the 10th anniversary of her death.

In the remembrance we would like to present photos, archive records and personal stories in order to complete and share the image that we have of her.

Many of you have known her personally. We request you to write down your personal experiences and memories of her which you would like to share with those who will be able to attend the commemoration. Brief accounts are expected to be sent to the following e-mail address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it until 15 September 2011. Authors are requested to indicate whether they agree for their names to be disclosed.

In anticipation of your contribution and with best regards,

On behalf of the management and staff of the Pető Institute I express our sadness at the natural catastrophe which has hit Japan. We feel deep compassion with the people of Japan and especially those personally affected by the earthquake and its consequences.

The disaster concerns us all the more due to our long standing partnership with Warashibe Institute and the Japanese conductors working there.

Our sympathy goes out to the leaders of Warashibe Institute. We hope that their staff and clients are well.

We have always admired our Japanese friends for their spirit of unity, perseverance and commitment to conductive pedagogy. We trust that their people will be able to recover from this tragedy and wish them strength and courage.

"The use of various task series in conductive education provides the opportunity to achieve farreaching results in overcoming dysfunctions and establish orthofunction. Practical experience of several decades shows that task series which have been designed with much care help motordisabled persons achieve motor-experience, acquire new knowledge and develop their learning skills, as well as increase their problemsolving aptitude and spontaneity. Task series represent an important means of development." (Éva Beck)

As a result of the generous donation of Decathlon Hungary Ltd., a new playground and sports ground has been built in our garden. On the 12x10 metres sports ground Pető children can play basketball, football and boccia. The new sports facilities include an obstacle trail and a little bridge on which wheelchair users and walkers can practise moving on various types of surfaces.
