At general level we can observe a weak social virtual responsibility among young people. Behind an avatar, they feel free to experiment, without any awareness of the real life impact. The general need of socialization of the young people, in the context of modern technology and social networks development, facilitated also the development of the virtual threats, at social, personal and professional level. Thus, in the last years, the number of cyber bulling cases increased dramatically, especially those cases where the young people were the victims. safelink 4 Activities and methodology y During the youth exchange, the young participant will get involved in activities special designed to contribute to their self development, most of them based on non formal education methods with a big impact on their intercultural learning process and many other active and creative methods, games or exercises meant to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the exchange between participants. 5 08:30 - 09:30 Breakfast 17:00 - 17:30 Coffee break 10:00 - 11:30 1st working session 17:30 - 19:00 4th working session timetable / 11:30 - 12:00 Coffee break 19:00 - 19:30 Reflection groups 12:00 - 13:30 2nd working session 19:30 - 20:30 Dinner 13:30 - 15:30 Lunch break 21:00 - 22:00 Evening activities working session 15:30 - 17:00 3rd session Arriving day (10/11/2019): We will start after dinner with [GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER GAMES] and continue with an [welcome party] Day 1 (11/11/2019): AM: [Project’s presentation, Get to know each other games] [Teambuilding games] PM: [Expectations, Contributions, Fears.

  • LANDSCAPE ECOLOGICAL RESEARCHES in the WESTERN MAROSSZÖG (HUNGARY) J. Á. DEÁK Key Words: Landscape Ecology, Biotope Mapping
    ACTA CLIMATOLOGICA ET CHOROLOGICA Universitatis Szegediensis, Tom. 38-39, 2005, 33-46. LANDSCAPE ECOLOGICAL RESEARCHES IN THE WESTERN MAROSSZÖG (HUNGARY) J. Á. DEÁK Department of Climatology and Landscape Ecology, University of Szeged, P.O. Box 653, 6701 Szeged, Hungary E-mail: [email protected] Összefoglalás – A Maroszög részletes élőhely térképezése 2002-ben kezdődött. A munka első lépéseként 2002- ben elkészítettem a vizsgált terület első 1:50.000-es aktuális élőhelytérképét a CORINE-CÉT (CLC-CÉT) élőhelyosztályzó rendszer szerint. A 2004-től induló MÉTA program (Magyarországi Élőhelytérkép Adatbázis) során az élőhelyek természetességét, regenerációs potenciálját, veszélyeztető tényezőit is térképeztük. Emellett a talaj és növényzet kapcsolatának vizsgálata is hangsúlyos szerepet kapott a vizsgálatban. A vizsgálati terület 4 részre különül el élőhely-kompozíció alapján. Ezek a Tisza-Maros-szöge, a Torontál, a Maros és a Tisza Maros- torok körüli szakasza, valamint a Maros felsőbb (magyarországi) szakasza (Landori-erdő Nagylak közöt). A felszíni üledékek, a talajok, a másodlagos szikesedés hatása, a folyók dinamikája és a tájhasználat hatása az élőhelyekben visszatükröződik. Az élőhely-kompozíciók természetessége és az ökorégiók kvantitatív növényföldrajzi analízise alapján a táj agrár-urbánus táj, sok természet közeli, értékes élőhellyel, amelyek regenerációs potenciálja jónak mondható. Summary - The detailed landscape biotope-mapping of Marosszög (Marosangle) has begun in 2002. As the first step of this work I made the first 1:50,000 actual vegetation map of the study area in 2002 on the basis of the CORINE-CÉT (CLC-CÉT) habitat classifying system. The naturalness, the regeneration potential, the risk factors were also mapped during the Hungarian Biotope-Map Database (MÉTA) programme started in 2004.
