“There should be many more projects like this, so that more people can experience the motivating, shaping and sustaining power of community. I have participated in many Erasmus projects, but never one that was this useful, this well-structured and filled with such meaningful programs. I am grateful for all the experiences and insights I received.” We have organized another Erasmus+ Youth Worker project. In recent days, we gathered participants from Hungary, Vojvodina and Transylvania in Szentegyháza (Romania). Our project, titled “Regional Cooperation for the Professional Support of Youth Workers”, aimed to provide diverse, personally enriching and professionally valuable non-formal training opportunities for youth professionals and educators. Beyond sharing innovative educational methods, the program also created space for professional networking and personal renewal. Supported by the European Union’s Erasmus+ Programme, the project focused on self-awareness, healthy lifestyle, physical presence, concentration, and mental-physical balance. We combined theatre education methodologies with wellbeing-oriented practices. Through the complex program elements, participants gained tools and techniques to strengthen their inner motivation, approach their work and lifestyle more consciously, and face professional and personal challenges with greater confidence. Workshops included personal development trainings, team-building activities, drama pedagogy games, sports and lifestyle sessions, body composition measurement and body awareness workshops. This initiative is part of a long-term regional strategy aimed at addressing the challenges youth workers face by offering opportunities for professional growth, networking and regeneration. We thank our partners – Sepsi Adrenalin Sport Association, Svung Creative Association (Budapest) and Change Center Lifestyle Center (Sfântu Gheorghe) – for enriching the project with their expertise. We are grateful to the participants for forming a truly inspiring and dedicated team.

In 2025, our independent and self-sustaining theatre company created 124 cultural, educational, and social events across 9 countries, reaching nearly 3,500 participants. We held 55 performances and 55 interactive audience discussions, along with 11 workshops and 3 Erasmus+ projects aimed at adult education. Two-thirds of our activities took place in Hungary, the rest in Romania and various international locations. Our production "I Am Not, Only Others See Me", based on texts by József Attila, premiered in 2022 and has now reached its 200th performance. In 2025, it was featured on a European tour, and performed in schools, classrooms, and black box theatres in 11 countries and 57 cities – and will continue its journey in 2026. Our documentary performance "As the Water Reflects the Face", presented for the first time 14 years ago, is approaching its 650th performance. This year, it was performed in Hungary, Austria, and Slovakia, with continued demand from schools and communities. We also organized multiple Erasmus+ projects, including "Health for a Better Future", focusing on personality development, wellbeing, and non-formal education for teachers and youth workers, through theatre, sport, and self-awareness. In 2026, we’ll start the year with a series of performances in Budapest, as part of our Attila120 project. With multiple grants and invitations already secured, we look forward to a new year of projects in Hungary and across Europe, continuing to build on our three pillars: theatre, education, and social involvement.

1993. február 3-án indult az Osonó – és azóta elképesztő utat jártunk be együtt. A társulat története során 187-en voltunk tagjai, és 23 előadás született meg, köztük 6 nemzetközi koprodukció thaiföldi, marokkói, budapesti, olaszországi és sepsiszentgyörgyi színházakkal. Az önfenntartó színházműhelyünk számunkra sosem csak az előadásokról szólt: az elmúlt évtizedekben több mint ezer oktatási és szociális projektet valósítottunk meg fiatalokkal és felnőttekkel. 33 év alatt 1 712 előadást játszottunk el, független színházként 3 kontinens 28 országának 340 településén. A munkánkat eddig 55 hazai és nemzetközi díjjal ismerték el – amiért végtelenül hálásak vagyunk. Idén az Osonó egyik legfontosabb célja az Attila120. projekt kapcsán az, hogy továbbgondoljuk azokat az eszközöket, amelyekkel a színházunk még több emberhez juthat el. A közel három éve bemutatott Nem vagyok, csak mások látnak című előadásunkat számos iskolában rendhagyó irodalomóraként, valamint alternatív terekben visszük tovább, hogy minél több fiatalhoz és közösséghez elérjen. Az Osonó számunkra mindig is egy független, alternatív színházi közösség volt, amely nemcsak előadásokat hoz létre, hanem párbeszédre hív. Hiszünk abban, hogy a színház inspirálni tud – abban, hogy felelős, kreatív emberként keressük és találjuk meg a helyünket a világban. Köszönjük mindenkinek, aki az elmúlt 33 évben velünk volt, velünk gondolkodott, velünk játszott. Folytatjuk. ❤️

"This performance made me rethink József Attila's texts. It was very deep and personal. I was completely drawn in." Supported by the Municipality of Budapest's 9th District (Ferencváros), and as part of the József Attila Memorial Year, Mucha Oszkár performed our classroom production "I Am Not, Only Others See Me" five times last week for graduating students. As part of our Attila120 project, the post-performance discussions offered a meaningful opportunity to explore the contemporary relevance of József Attila’s poetry. The freshness of the poet’s texts allowed us to speak openly about our own emotions and worldviews. We talked about homelessness, searching for meaning, trauma, loneliness, exclusion, parental absence, and the urgent emotions woven into the texts. Thank you for the encounter, for the honest reflections, and for allowing us to connect through poetry and theatre.
