Solidarity between generations
A special attraction of the issue is that Magyar Posta selected the designer of the stamp from students of art studying at Hungarian institutes of higher education. About one hundred applications were submitted, and the jury found that the work of Richárd Horváth, student of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design was the best. The second prize was awarded to Judit Kecskés (Hungarian University of Fine Arts), and the third winner was Luca Patkós (Hungarian University of Fine Arts). The European Union declared 2012 the year of active ageing and solidarity between generations. The aim is to enhance understanding and the exchange of experience between young people and older generations and to strengthen family bonds. Society’s attention must be drawn to that old age can be lived with active participation, remaining part of society and also to that young people must be encouraged with different programmes to find a common language with the elderly.
