PROJECTS
At home and abroad.

SMART TREE PROJECT
The Smart Tree project designed by the Planetrise Foundation in 2022 – it is a unique online space – where collective thinking takes centre stage.
The aim of Smart Tree is to foster open dialogue and collaborative problem-solving. It is a platform where anyone can raise a question, issue, dilemma or social phenomenon—whether practical, theoretical, moral or philosophical—and thus initiate a "Mind / Thought Tree".
The community can then engage: comment, debate, contribute, introduce new perspectives, or offer possible solutions. Smart Tree is a living, evolving map of ideas.
The project was implemented with the support of Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Ltd.

SURVEY ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN LOCAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KISVÁRDA
The aim of the project is to assess the knowledge, opinions and attitudes of local secondary school students regarding climate change.
Through the questionnaire, we gather valuable information about the extent to which young people are aware of global environmental challenges, the sources they use to inform themselves, and how personally responsible they feel for addressing environmental issues.
The results of the project will contribute to the development of more targeted and effective awareness-raising programmes in educational institutions in the future.

SWIMMING PROGRAM AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IN UGANDA
The project is being implemented in collaboration with the Jane Goodall Institute and our Foundation with major support from Hungary Helps Agency.
Our goal is to improve the safety of water transportation for the residents living around Lake Bunyonyi in Uganda. This includes the construction of school boats, as well as the modernisation of docks and piers.
On the islands, we are also renovating school buildings and providing swimming instruction, thereby contributing to the safety and development of local communities in their everyday lives.

AROUND THE WORLD – EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTARY
The "Around the World" is a project that took place in 2024. The documentary was created in collaboration with our featured partner the Planetrise Cultural and Environmental Association. The film shows the two decades of international work carried out by the Association. It offers a colourful and accessible overview of the Association's experiences and activities across various continents.
The film not only provides insight into Planetrise's global presence but also shares cultural and geographical curiosities related to each region. It serves as both an educational and inspirational tool – all summarised in one film.
The project was conceived and implemented by the Planetrise Foundation, with major support from Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Ltd.
