Abstract: The Medves Area, which is part of the Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark, is a small landscape unit in North Hungary, having several interesting geological landforms and from some aspects a special geomorphology. Its southern rim is almost unknown both from point of view of the geosciences and the tourism. Wandering and field work is not easy in this area due to the deep zigzag gorges and lush vegetation; however, it is very awakening to discover the landscape. The area is consisting of mainly sandstones and it is possible to study the very unique landforms, among others outcropped mushroom rocks and several microforms, moreover gives opportunity to recognize their development. The personal experience can provide much more benefit and pleasure e. g. for a geography teacher than to study a series of figures in a textbook. On the other hand, it also induces for further research

Abstract: This paper reviews the connection between geography and history within the education system of Hungary and uses documentary analysis to examine the 2020 curricula of the two subjects, with a particular focus on the frame curricula. Based on these documents, it can be concluded that - e. g. due to the curricular structure and the reduction of the number of classes - it is rather difficult to synthesise and integrate the two subjects, however, not impossible. The study presents the links between the two subjects in three major groups and makes methodological recommendations for teachers.

Abstract: Due to the rapid development of the modern world, social competence, and also its development, is essential. In this article we present our suggestions about social competence development through teaching geography. We identified five areas of competence, which we consider essential to develop. These are the following: empathic ability, social activity and cooperation, healthy lifestyle and environmental awareness, tolerance and respect for diversity, and finally organizational skills. Based on these competences we created a comprehensive development plan for the seventh grade. The main purpose of the development plan is to highlight how the skills are built on and connected to each other. To make the process of development more effective, within each competence area we defined sublevels of competences. Based on the development plan we elaborated a collection of tasks using creative, colourful, student-centred teaching ideas.
