We were thrilled to host six Mongolian teachers at our headquarters in Szeged, Hungary for two months from September to November in 2024. Five of the teachers came from Ulaanbaatar, while one joined us from Umnugobi Province. We are grateful to them – Khishigmunkh Bavuu, Uultsetseg Tsagaanchuluun, Nasannemekh Nergui, Chagtsal Chapayev, Ariunbuyan Enkhtsetseg, and Otgonjargal Turgerel – for dedicating their time and effort to join us in Szeged.
Together, we worked on key projects like localization, digital content development, and enhancing textbooks with engaging digital resources. Beyond the projects, we also had the wonderful opportunity to explore each other’s cultures, share traditions, and build connections. It was a truly enriching experience for everyone involved, leaving us with not just professional achievements, but also personal connections that will be remembered for years to come. But let’s see what these 8 weeks were all about.
During their first week, the visiting teachers participated in a 3-day training alongside an international group of attendees.
This was followed by seven weeks of intensive training designed to provide an in-depth understanding of mozaBook’s capabilities. The training covered detailed exploration of the Media Library, including 3D scenes, digital lessons, tools, games, quizzes, and videos. Participants also learned how to create exercises directly from 3D scenes and tools, apply animations and special effects, and assign both homework and classwork.
During these seven weeks, they attended hands-on workshops led by Mozaik trainers and gained the skills and confidence needed to effectively conduct independent training sessions. They are now equipped with subject-specific examples to teach their colleagues how to use the system effectively.
The extensive training has also prepared teachers to create their own digital lessons on important Mongolian topics. With support from the editorial team, they have also developed localized collections on traditions, cultural heritage, and notable figures, making the educational content even more relevant for their students. All the visiting teachers have received additional high-level certificates at the end of their stay.
Just as we were eager to learn about their culture, they were equally interested in learning about ours. With many questions about the Hungarian school system and the daily use of mozaBook in classrooms, we arranged for them to visit a local primary school to observe a History lesson.
But this partnership was about more than just work. It was a vibrant cultural exchange where we learned from one another, forging connections that transformed these educators into esteemed colleagues.
Our visit to Ópusztaszer, the National Heritage Park, was an incredible journey into history, highlighted by the impressive Feszty Panorama.
The teachers also had the opportunity to visit the ELI-ALPS Laser Center, a world-renowned research institute, where they received a guided tour of the state-of-the-art facilities.
They have immersed themselves in the vibrant cultural life of Szeged and enjoyed two memorable trips to Budapest, the capital of Hungary. They had the opportunity to discover and enjoy the diverse flavors of the local cuisine, trying a variety of traditional dishes.
We are thankful that they could join us this fall. This marks the beginning of a promising partnership with education professionals in Mongolia. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and the chance to continue shaping education together. Here's to a future of shared innovation and success!
