About the programme
Fessünk Álmokat!
The Fessünk Álmokat program rests on two foundational pillars. On one hand it builds on a branch of community arts — community mural painting — and on the other it builds on the mental-health perspective, its toolkit, and its methods. Over the past nearly ten years we have carried out a number of murals, self-discovery group sessions, and workshops. Our aim is to offer new paths and new perspectives along the journey of self-discovery through colors and painting, supporting self-reflection, quieting down, and turning the attention inward. In this album we present the programs of recent years, and you can also read a theoretical grounding in community arts.
The group-work exercises that lead up to the mural are gathered in the book Milyen szín lennél?.

The memory album
Seven years, seven walls.
Between 2016 and 2022 — each year a shared piece of group work and a mural in Gyergyószentmiklós. Scroll, and watch the colours of the years take shape.
2016
I'll be a gardener, a teacher, a basketball player…
The first walls — the colour of children's dreams on the plaster.
2017
Our dreams catch up with us…
The longings that give us no rest.
2018
Which way now? The challenges of young adulthood
A crossroads — the walls of growing up.
2019
A small house, a big garden, lots of nature
Home and landscape — images of peace.
2020
Like asters. It's autumn already, yet they glow.
A glow in a hard year.
2021
Look, and see the person
The gaze that truly sees.
2022
I am a woman, I am present
Presence and strength — the wall of women's voices.
The walls
The colours of the community.
Over seven years, some sixty people painted together — children, young people, families, the elderly. Take a closer look.
Voices of the programme
The people behind the walls.
What stays with me most from these past seven years and the Gyergyó murals is the sense of belonging and the joy of the participants — visible on the children's faces during the painting and at the ceremonial unveilings, and just as much in the eyes of the adults and the elderly.
dr. Dániel Botondfounder of the Community and Social Resource Centre in Gyergyószentmiklós
The group work that precedes the mural is at least as important as the painting itself. The group work makes room for going deeper and for bringing messages and thoughts to the surface — and painting together is what truly turns these occasions into a shared, communal experience.
