The residents of Tetemvár and Bábonyibérc got to know the social service providers on a family day
Special events were organized by the professional staff of the 4IM project for the two target areas of the program.
Basically, the purpose of the community events was to mix the pleasant with the useful. The family days in Tetemvár on April 10 and in Bábonyibérc on April 30 offered recreational opportunities for residents of the two target areas, especially for the children. At the same time, the professional staff also wanted to address the accompanying parents, so representatives of the social service providers available to them were also present at the events to inform the families about their options in an informal atmosphere.
The Social Innovation Council was working on the sustainability of the 4IM project
Members of the expert advisory board established as part of the program met on April 17, 2024. Nearing the end of the 4IM project, with the help of a moderator, the participants examined how the results of the program could sustain even after the end of the project period.
Whatever the project, it can generally be said that the given project provides the opportunity for work in a certain period. Therefore, it is necessary to plan sustainability in terms of preserving the results.
Ágota Scharle, lead researcher of the Budapest Institute, helped the professionals of the Social Innovation Council to think together as part of the board's last meeting.
The attendees selected two of the five service packages of the 4IM project: the one aimed at employment and improving the quality of life. According to their experiences - although each is equally important -, these two motivate the target groups the most. After that, they assessed the obstacles and looked for ways to overcome them.

The Social Innovation Resource Center organized a factory visit for a total of seven women from Tetemvár and Bábonyibérc. Residents of Miskolc interested in employment - thanks to the 4IM project - visited two "Tű, cérna, szeretet" sewing workshops of the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County Organization of the Hungarian Red Cross. The program wanted to set a good practical example for job seekers.
