Ms. Aniko Orgovanyi, in addition to being the Country Coordinator for GLOBE Hungary, is a prize-winning artist and a strong proponent for the inclusion of art into GLOBE. Ms. Orgovanyi began including art into GLOBE training for Hungarian teachers in 2000, presented the art of several students at the 7th GLOBE Annual Conference in Chicago in 2002 and helped GLOBE students to participate in an artistic exhibition at the Youth Festival in Croatia during the GLOBE Learning Expedition. Ms. Orgovanyi proposed at the 8th Annual Conference in Boulder, Colorado, in 2004, to establish a GLOBE Art Group. She feels that art can only strengthen environmental awareness. "Should we employ the holistic method, our outlook on the world would become complete and harmonious, the [GLOBE] Programme would appeal to more people and enrich all of us," said Ms. Orgovanyi.
Ms. Orgovanyi is a member of the Artitude Contemporary Art Gallery, the Association of the Artists of Pomaz and the Association of Hungarian Artists in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1985, Ms. Orgovanyi graduated from the Graphics Department of the Teachers Training College in Eger, Hungary. She then continued her art studies in Budapest, Hungary. Her book illustrations and graphic works of art have been published in various publications.
Ms. Orgovanyi presented "GLOBE and Art" at the GLOBE Annual Conference, in Boulder, Colorado, USA, July 24 - 28, 2004. For more information on GLOBE in Hungary, visit www.globe.gov/fsl/INTL/main.pl?ctry=HU&lang=en&nav=1.
