The autumn break provided an opportunity for the members of Szentes Group 2 to gather at our Community House. We started the afternoon with a mentor session, during which everyone gave a status report on their academic results at school, their everyday lives, and their plans. Literature also played an important role during the afternoon: two members of our group submitted short story entries for the Buday competition, which were read aloud by our mentor, allowing us to discover the stories and thoughts they had written together. Reading them aloud was an interesting highlight of the program and provided an opportunity to gain insight into each other’s literary works. Getting into the mood for Halloween, we carved pumpkins, so everyone could showcase their manual skills, imagination, and creativity during the crafting process. The pumpkins decorated with various patterns created a real autumn atmosphere, and we lit them up as it got dark in the meantime. This collaborative work provided great relaxation for the group; we had good conversations and laughed at many funny situations. Both the pumpkin carving and the reading of the short stories contributed to making today a meaningful day spent in high spirits. Creative crafting and literary experiences made for a pleasant joint program for our group.
