The Project was carried out in 2001 among:
The Danish Organisation for Renewable Energy (OVE-Europe & INFORSE-Europe), and 7 Hungarian NGOs working on the field of environment and energy.
The Hungarian NGO organisations were:
E-MISSZIO/EKA - Nyiregyhaza;  ENERGY CLUB - Budapest;  EKOKU - Esztergom;
IEC - Budapest; NIMFEA - Turkeve;  REFLEX - Gyor;  OKOSZ - Budapest.

The project was funded by the Danish Outdoor Council´s Small Project Fund for Central and Eastern Europe.
The Outdoor Council is a non-governmental organisation founded in 1942. It operates as an umbrella organisation, today with 94 individual national member organisations. They cover outdoor recreational activities as well as nature protection interests.

Activities:

Study Tour in Denmark May 12-20, 2001
The Study Tour had 15 Hungarian participants from the 7 cooperating organisations.
See "List and group picture of the Hungarian participants of the Study Tour".
The Study Tour was carried out on May12-20, 2001. The group visited the 2 offices of OVE; 5 of the cooperating Energy & Environment Offices (Copenhagen, Aarhus, Viborg, Torup, NIVE); Folkecenter for Renewable Energy and projects around the center (biogas plant, coogeneration plant and climb up into a windmill); Aidt Miljo; School Energy Forum; and 2 eco-villages (Hjortshoj, Torup).

See the "Program of the Study Tour in Denmark" and the "Address List of the Visited Places in Denmark".

The Hungarians made presentations of themselves in 3 places (OVE Aarhus; Folkecenter; KMEK). During the Study Tour we discussed and evaluated how the Hungarians can use the learned knowledge, and new contacts in the future and how we can develop the Mobile Exhibition.

Mobile Exhibition and the Posters
The Mobile Exhibition consists of 4 boxes including:
- Efficient window glass pack with a laser mini thermometer
- Insolation materials for houses
- Efficient lamp bulbs with a meter
- PV powered radio, battery charger and a spring; windmill
- 6 posters ( 42 cm x 60cm) were made with transparent plastic folio coat. They feature the following topics:  insolation of houses, insolation of windows, efficient window glasses, efficient light bulbs, and renewable energy: solar water heating and wind energy.
- An extra poster (30cm x70 cm) features the support by the Danish Outdoor Council with the logo in big size.

See some pictures how they look on the pdf files Mobile Exhibition (51 kB pdf) and Posters (45 kB pdf)

- The Mobil Exhibition was already in 2 places in 2001. (By E-misszio at the East-West Expo, and by IEC at the "Valley of Arts"), and there is a plan to carry it to the other events organised by the others as well.

Project's Future
The Idea Catalogue shows that the participants got a lot of ideas to develop further in Hungary. The participants learned a lot and they think that they can use the gained knowledge in their future work in several ways. There is also substantial concrete interest from the participants for future cooperation.
