"…I am particularly pleased to recommend to the attention of the reader the present publication of the Psalmus Humanus Association. The Secretariat of the Hungarian National Commission for UNESCO is committed to the objectives represented by the Psalmus Humanus Association and supports its extraordinarily valuable work. The activities accomplished by the association are concrete as well as effective steps towards the realization of the objectives specified in the founding documents of UNESCO, particularly in context of the Quality Education and Preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage."

(Mr. Péter Gresiczki, former Secretary General of the Hungarian National Commission for UNESCO)

 

PSALMUS HUMANUS Integrated Arts Education Programme and Consultation Centre

"The pedagogic studios under the coordination of the Association are exemplary for the symbiosis of education and culture. Beyond positives effects on the Hungarian society, substantial international advancements are to be expected from the proposed conjoint cross-border art pedagogical cooperation programmes.

The cooperation would mutually support and encourage the further enhancement of human resources within the participating countries. The Hungarian UNESCO Commission considers it as extremely important to reinforce such civil initiatives serving common welfare based on genuine values. They are increasingly necessary considering the dubious side-effects of globalisation in contemporary societies.

I am convinced that the Psalmus Humanus Association and this publication in particular will contribute to success of recent civil efforts for preserving commonly accepted Hungarian cultural and artistic values."

(Mr. Péter Gresiczki)
