PAF IN SERBIA (VOJVODINA)
Conductor
training beyond frontiers?
The
PAF, formerly the Pető Institute, recently completed a three-week demonstration service in the city
of Senta in northern Serbia (one-time Hungarian Zenta).
At
the closing ceremony Jenő
Hajnal,
President of the Hungarian National Council said that conductive
pedagogy can bring miraculous results without need for much
equipment, but the project's wider importance lie in its implications for
future conductor-training, which could take place in Santa as well as
in Budapest. Not many people actually came forward for this three-week course
but it is hoped that news of what has been done at Santa will attract
more – not just those of Hungarian background. It is also hoped
that benefits might extend to other parts of Serbia.
PAF
Rector Andrea Zsebe also spoke, pointing out that this course had
been preceded by screening to select from those put forward, as the
method is not suitable for all disabled people. She also said that
the PAF's intention to decentralise and be less Budapest-centred, also
extends beyond the present political frontiers of Hungary.
The
main coordinator of Senta course was Attila Perpauer, Chairman of the Hungarian National Council's Education Committee. He reported that family-members taking part had a positive attitude
towards the programme, and that attendance had sometimes involved
huge personal sacrifices, with some families travelling daily, others
sleeping in Santa. He added that parents are already awaiting the
next course, to be organised in the autumn.
