We aim to gather 35 participants from partner organizations and beyond for a five-day interactive summit in Hollókő. The goal is to connect and strengthen youth centers through the exchange of practical knowledge on community management, youth participation, and mental health support. The program will be co-created with participants: after registration, we will survey their needs and each team will facilitate a small workshop, session, or activity. Day 1 will focus on arrivals, networking, and teambuilding. Days 2–4 will include a visit to the IfiHáz Youth Community Center in Szécsény, good practice sharing, and thematic workshops on NGO management, youth engagement, fundraising, and creative community involvement. Participants will also work in mixed-country groups to develop ideas for future joint initiatives. Day 5 will conclude with reflection, feedback, and agreement on follow-up actions and continued cooperation. With this participatory, peer-to-peer format we will fosters ownership, learning, and sustainable networking among partners.

The focus group is an event aimed at identifying the needs of Ukrainian local and regional authorities (LRAs) in the context of territorial cooperation development: the legal, administrative, financial, and other barriers they face, as well as the areas where they require new knowledge and experience from V4 LRAs and their experts. Based on the results, experts from Ukraine and the V4 will integrate the collected feedback into training materials (modules). The focus group enables a clear identification of the real challenges and needs of Ukrainian LRAs, including gaps in legislation, administrative procedures, financing, and technical support. The data obtained will serve as the basis for developing training modules and conducting trainings that incorporate the best practices of V4 communities according to the demands of Ukrainian partners. The focus group provides essential feedback, ensuring the relevance and practical value of all project components. It directly contributes to the strategic objective of strengthening the institutional capacity of Ukrainian LRAs and their integration into the European territorial cooperation space, making training materials fully adapted to their real needs. Key components of the focus group include: presentation of the agenda and questionnaire; engagement of partners, experts, and stakeholders; discussion of legal, administrative, financial, and technical challenges; building partnerships; media outreach; and planning the integration of results into modules and trainings

The exchange programme between the Secondary Technical School of Civil Engineering in Nitra and the Secondary Technical School in Havlíčkův Brod focuses on developing students’ skills in digital architectural design. The main aim is to train participants in the use of ArchiCAD, a key BIM software commonly applied in contemporary construction practice. During the one-week stay, students will take part in workshops and practical lessons led by specialists from the host school. They will learn how to model building structures, create basic documentation, and prepare simple architectural visualizations. The final outcome of the programme will be a small independent project in ArchiCAD, which students will present at the end of the stay. The programme also includes professional and cultural activities. Students will visit the company Chládek a Tintěra, a.s., which is active in civil and transport construction. This visit will provide insight into real construction processes and the organization of building works. In addition, they will visit the historic town of Kutná Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which will enrich the programme with cultural and architectural context. The project supports the connection between theoretical education and practical application, strengthens cooperation between partner schools, and contributes to the development of professional competence and cultural awareness among students.

The conference in Biala Podlaska in memory of Prof. Jozef Bergier on 19 March 2026 will be organised by the Polish partner, Akademia Bialska im. Jana Pawła II. An electronic abstract book in English and Polish will also be produced for the event. The event will be attended by academic staff (11 persons) from 4 (Czech, Slovak, Polish and Hungarian) partner universities - including authors of scientific articles -, experts/stakeholders e.g. from other academic communities, secondary school and university students, PE teachers, university lecturers, stakeholders, researchers. We plan that about 60 people will attend the event. The conference will provide an opportunity to discuss the scientific findings and disseminate the results not only to the scientific community but also to the wider public. It will also provide an opportunity to discuss further joint research activities.

The V4 Transnational Workshop will bring together HR professionals, academics, and consultants from all four Visegrad countries to consolidate insights from the national workshops (Output 2). The aim is to strengthen cross-border collaboration and co-develop practical responses to five shared HR challenges: strategic HR alignment, job design, performance evaluation, digitalisation, and talent development. Participants will review the draft HR models and guidelines developed so far, share national experiences and best practices, and formulate regionally relevant recommendations. The format will include interactive group sessions, expert dialogues, and facilitated reflection to ensure both content validation and methodological learning. The results will directly inform the finalisation of the HR tools (Output 1), feed into the Closing Online Conference (Output 4), and strengthen the V4 HR Professional Network (Output 6). The workshop ensures that solutions are tested across contexts and refined collaboratively, making them both locally useful and regionally aligned.

The purpose of this workshop is to establish the conceptual and methodological foundation for the project on Emotional Dynamics of Housing Policy in the Visegrad Region: Security as a Social Value As the very first exchange, it provides a unique opportunity to align definitions, approaches, and research tools across the V4 countries. Its main outcome will be a coherent framework that ensures the comparability of the four national case studies. The event will also feature a training session on public policy, social policy, and emotions, delivered by researchers from Poland and Hungary. This three-hour online workshop will bring together researchers, students, and doctoral candidates from Poland, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia.The event will feature thematic presentations, moderated discussions, and interactive group work. This workshop is the first in a cycle of four, each corresponding to a different stage of the research cycle: building a shared framework, conducting a pre-comparative exchange, critically analyzing comparative findings, and finally transferring knowledge to stakeholders. Each stage delivers distinct outcomes—academic integration (1), academic reflection (2), critical validation (3), and civic and policy engagement (4).

The concept of this output will be the same as in Workshop in Slovakia but instead of In Minoristas, the meeting and workshop will be with partner organization Uccu Roma Informális Oktatási Alapítvány.

A series of four live, online interactive webinars, each focused on a distinct theme derived from the Visegrad Group's experience in maintaining cooperation despite political differences: - Webinar 3: Business Beyond Politics. Each webinar will feature case study presentations by V4 and Georgian experts, followed by a moderated discussion. The events will be online.
