Sandor Mühe, one of the founding members of the Ferenc Kölcsey Véndiak Association, will share his thoughts on the 32nd Véndiak Meeting to be held on 12-13 July, and will draw attention to the programmes he runs.
“The most important objective of this year’s meeting is not entertainment per se, but a number of small and large group activities, which, by emphasizing local traditions, values and specific character, make this event exceptional, inalienable, unique and irreplaceable.”
From this point of view, I am going on a sightseeing tour, where we talk about Szamos, the new bridges, and the landscape of the floodplains. I am organizing a quiz game with Szatmár content in the exhibition hall of the Industrial House, and there will also be a local history exhibition with a hundred photos from the Ez is Szatmár series, with the help of which I will present some of the most significant images of the recent successful renovations.
I will open an exhibition by artists from Zatmar, Gabriela Kiraly and Ildiko Lepidus and their students, and the usefulness and necessity of the Vendéan meetings will be discussed in my opening speech at the Philharmonic.
The above is just a small part of the meeting, which is organized and managed by a large and experienced team that realizes many original ideas and concepts, from sports and cultural activities to class meetings, from presentation to table reservation, from food and drink provision to live music, from virtual promotion to continuous display of documentary photos, from recording income and expenses to creating promotional materials, and I could go on.
Vendia meetings are organized by many people in many places, from Marosvásárhely to Timişoara, from Nagyvárád to Cluj, from Zilah to Csíkszereda, and among these places, Szatmári stands out for its specific activities, which are unique to it, as well as the respect and enrichment of the local people. Traditions, and perhaps thanks to this, can become an example for others. In Szatmári, they know that in this unpredictable world, we need a safe place, where we started and where we can return at any time, where we are known, and where we can be ourselves, even for a short time, without playing roles.
“We wish all participants enjoyable entertainment, lasting experiences, and long-lasting, high-quality refreshments,” says Sandor Mohe.
