Vodafone Awards Teachers

Vodafone Hungary awarded the work of two educators at the Women for Hungary Awards Gala, who demonstrated their skills and commitment during the transition to digital education with the help of digitization.

The Women for Hungary Club praised women who successfully faced this year's socio-economic challenges at the Women for Hungary Awards Gala. The purpose of establishing the award was to recognize the efforts made by women with exemplary missions from different fields during the coronavirus epidemic.

A statement by Vodafone says the company is very pleased to join the Women for Hungary Award, as the company has been committed to strengthening the role of women for years. At the gala event on October 5, Dr. Gergő J. Budai, Deputy CEO for Corporate Relations of Vodafone Hungary and Deputy Chairman of the Board, presented two special awards recognizing the creative solutions introduced in the field of digital education and their implementers. The special prize of Vodafone was awarded to Andrea Szak Dénes and Villő Vörös, both of whom the company sees as examples of modern, digital pedagogues.

Andrea Szak Dénes, a teacher of Hungarian literature, grammar, German and drama subjects at Kaposmérő from 4th to 8th grade, paid great attention to the mental health of children during the pandemic, in addition to handing over digital curriculum. At the beginning of the quarantine, the educator switched to digital education with extreme speed and invented playful tasks for the children, often involving the parents as well.

Vörös Villő, who teaches solfeggio and keyboard at the Emil Csitáry School of Art, transferred the experience of learning music from the classroom to the online space. The teacher took the solfeggio classes to a new level using the Google Classroom program and helped her colleagues with the digital transition in addition to the children.
