Calm and Harmony in the Rhythm of Nature

A SENSE OF CALM offers a moment of pause amidst the bustle of city life, inviting visitors into a slower, elemental space of deep immersion. British–Hungarian artist Laura Medcalf creates her works at the meeting point of land and open water, using sunlight, earth, and natural materials to form unique, unrepeatable textures.

These are not depictions of landscapes, but physical impressions born from a meditative collaboration with rivers, lakes, seas, and the natural forces that shape them.

Presented as part of the London Design Festival, A SENSE OF CALM invites reflection, renewal, and a deeper connection with nature.

The exhibition is open from 12 September to 20 October 2025, Monday to Friday, 11:00–19:00.

Kerek Egy Esztendő

We warmly welcome everyone to our activities, which are organised around the year’s special occasions and celebrations. Our program places special emphasis on folk dance, chess, gastronomy, and drama, all carefully woven into the sessions.

Through traditional folk games, we nurture children’s emotional development, social connections, and sense of belonging to a community. Storytelling pedagogy also plays a central role: it strengthens imagination, self-expression, and personality development, ensuring that every activity is filled with joy, creativity, and memorable experiences.

Our aim is not only to enrich children’s Hungarian vocabulary, but also to develop their creativity and problem-solving skills, all within a positive, supportive community environment.

The Hungarian Miracle

“The occasion for this solo performance comes after I spent just under a year in Vienna, where I realized that, despite all my efforts, I am very much Hungarian – I operate according to completely different instincts than the locals. But what are these instincts? In the show, I explore what sets us apart from other nations, what forms the core of the Pannonian spirit, and why I ultimately returned home – what might I have been missing? Come and laugh with me at ourselves!”

In Ireland

In September 2015, we opened our doors to the children of Hungarian families living in Dublin and the surrounding area. At our school and kindergarten, children are cared for by qualified, experienced, and enthusiastic teachers.

Among the principles of DIÓ is fostering active readers, and our goal is also to encourage children to become active theater-goers. To this end, we take steps within our means. Our aim is for children to learn to speak, write, and read Hungarian correctly, and to learn through play while experiencing our traditions.

Our program, in addition to teaching the Hungarian language and literature, includes providing basic knowledge of history, local heritage, and the environment.
