Exhibition at the Óbuda University’s Rejtő Faculty – The stunning clothes of the KORONDI 2:0 project

The Rejtő Faculty of Óbuda University is pleased to announce that from 28 June 2024 it will organise an exhibition in the Doberdó Road lobby of the KORONDI 2:0 – Modern Interpretation of Hungarian Folk Art project, featuring the work of students from the Institute of Product Design of the Sándor Rejtő Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering.

The project, which was led by Dr. Edit Csanák DLA Clothing Design Artist, Director of the TTI, was realized in the framework of a collaboration between Hungarian and foreign students of the Rejtő Faculty of Óbuda University, under the mentorship of the faculty members of the institute. The aim was to create a modern interpretation of Hungarian folk art motifs and techniques through the language of contemporary fashion.

Commenting on the exhibition, Dr. habil László Koltai, Dean of the Faculty said, “We are delighted that the stunning garments created by the students of the Product Design Institute of the Sándor Rejtő Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering will be exhibited in the Doberdó Road lobby. The KORONDI 2:0 project is an excellent example of the modern interpretation of Hungarian folk art motifs and techniques through the language of contemporary fashion. We are proud of our students who have used their talent and creativity to create unique and innovative pieces. This exhibition not only showcases the talent of our students, but also celebrates the rich heritage of Hungarian folk art. We hope that visitors to the exhibition will be inspired by the costumes and discover the beauty and value of Hungarian folk art.”

The exhibition presents a wide range of garments made during the project, from traditional motifs to more daring and innovative pieces.

Delegation from Chad visits the Faculty of Hide and Seek – international interest in textile and fashion education

As part of its programme in Hungary, a delegation from Chad led by Adam Medella visited the Rejtő Faculty of Óbuda University. The visitors were welcomed by Dr. Edit Csanák DLA, Deputy Dean and Director of the Institute of Product Design. The meeting was also attended by Tamás Kersánszki, Programme Manager from the Rector’s Office.

The Faculty was delighted to welcome the guest from Chad, who was able to learn about the English language courses offered by the Faculty. The visitors showed a particular interest in the Industrial Product and Design Engineering course and the Product Design specialisation run by the Product Design Institute. Among these, the design of clothing and accessories, as well as textile and interior design, may be of interest to Chadian students.

Speaking on the visit, Adam Medella said that the development of the textile industry in Chad is expected to bring about a significant improvement in the labour market situation, with a particular focus on the development of the cottage industry in textiles, which will create jobs and livelihoods. Therefore, they see potential in training in textile production technologies and fashion product design, and there is further potential in training in designing leather decoration products and leather industry production technologies. Short courses could even be launched in this area to provide qualifications.

The delegation from Chad was very pleased to visit some of the manufacturing technology laboratories of the Product Design Institute and the pop-up exhibition set up by the TTI in the lobby.

During the visit, the possibility of supporting Chad’s adult education and labour market programmes (“50,000 jobs” programme) with a possible course-based design skills project was discussed. In addition, the possibility of linking the OEHR with popular private universities in Chad was also discussed.

Dr. Edit Csanák DLA, Vice-Dean of the Faculty, said that the Faculty is open to cooperation with Chadian institutions and is confident that further joint projects in the field of textile and fashion design education and the development of the Chadian labour market can be implemented in the future.

Intensive blended program in Poland

Twenty second- and third-year environmental engineering students from the Sándor Rejtő Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering at Óbuda University participated in an intensive blended program (BIP) organized by the Erasmus program at the University of Bielsko-Biała (Poland). The program aimed to present modern methods of biomass utilization and biofuel production, as well as highlight the important role played by circular economy practices. During the first week of the two-week program, students attended online lectures, while in the second week, they had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the practical aspects of the subject in the laboratories of the University of Bielsko-Biała and in industrial facilities in Poland. During the program, students visited a biofuel plant, where they learned about the practical aspects of biodiesel production, its raw materials, and by-products. At a regional wastewater treatment plant, experts from the university and the facility demonstrated the practice of municipal wastewater treatment and the possibilities of using municipal wastewater sludge in biogas production. The program also included a visit to a deep coal mine transformed into a museum, where students could observe the landscape-shaping effects of extracting fossil energy carriers. In the practical week of the program, students had the opportunity to interact with both the host institution’s students and students from other participating universities in the Czech Republic, Estonia, and Spain. This allowed our students to practice not only the practical application of technical English but also everyday communication skills.
