On the 29th of November 2021, the Transnational Partners Meeting of the ISEX project took place in Palermo, Italy. The discussion focused on the activities implemented so far, the next steps of the project and the preparation of the joint staff training that followed.

Following the Transnational Partners’ meeting, a 4-day joint staff training (30/11-03/12/2021) was held in Palermo, with members of the participating organisations, teachers, sex educators and other school staff from Italy, Hungary, Germany and the Netherlands.

The aim of the training was to provide trainers and educators with a comprehensive sex education methodology and assist them in covering sex education topics through experiential and participatory activities, and self-reflection, as well as to build on the foundation of the project’s training curriculum for teachers and for students.

The Eastern- Hungarian Community Service Foundation was founded more than 20 years ago with the aim to serve and represent communities. Since then, the foundation initiates and supports various community development processes particularly to solve social, cultural and environment protection questions that occurred in the region. Pays emphasized attention to youth and unemployment issues. In the last 20 years the foundation promoted mapping, exploiting and developing the human resources of the settlements in the region and helped the birth and operation of many smaller and bigger local communities.

The foundation supported the strengthening of the civil sphere by counseling and building networks. The organization popularized the good practices of the national and international community building through professional forums, guidance, experience sharing, training and disputes. Published professional brochures and books that can help communities to operate, to get to know good practices, ideas and to build connections locally, at national level and internationally.
The Foundation ran an Information and Counseling Office and Community Database for more than a decade. Organized professional consultancy for civil organizations and non- formal groups. Organized countless professional trainings and workshops, community development programs, Civil Disputes, Community weekends and Community Surveying. Published settlement calendars and booklets presenting the local history and exploring local values and resources, bringing back forgotten local traditions and treasures, giving new options and motivating community development or simply revive „sleeping” villages.
The Foundation established the István Koppány Award to reward civil excellence. For many years, since 1997, ran the Civil Academy Workshop series.
In 2019, the original Board of Trustees and the founder of EHCSF (KMKA) decided to retire and give place for new initiatives within the organization. Beyond promoting community development further in the region, the new leadership mainly focuses on issues related to women and young people. We would like to promote and take part in local, national and international programs and initiatives that are aiming to support these aim groups to ensure acceptance, understanding, cooperation and high quality, hearty measures.
