Hands-on workshops to promote the conscious use of media

School groups from all parts of Hungary can participate in our program free of charge.

What is Magic Valley?

The Magic Valley Media Literacy Education Centres have been established by the National Media and Infocommunications Authority to promote the media literacy education of students aged 9-16 by providing them with hands-on learning experience. Our three centres can be visited during the school year as well as in the summertime when we organize media camps for kids.

Magic Valley Budapest, located in the second district in Buda, has welcomed students since 2014. The centre can host up to 48 students (in case of third and fourth graders up to 40 students) and their educators. On Fridays only local schools can attend our program.

The Magic Valley experience

Our goal is to prepare the visit of the different school groups as best we can, therefore we keep in regular touch with the teachers. Should they have any questions, they can contact us anytime during office hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can physically disabled people visit Magic Valley? ?
Yes, they can. All of our centres are accessible — physically disabled students can use all of our services as well as most functions of our studios. Our instructors lead the workshops and use studio equipment in a way that our visitors can make the most of the Magic Valley experience.
By what time do we get home?
The full program lasts approximately 5 to 6 hours. Our workshops start at 9 or 10 am depending on where the group comes from and they end at around 3-4 pm including the breaks. If it takes you around two hours to get to our centre, you will get home by 6 pm the latest.
As a parent can I take my kids and their friends to Magic Valley?
Unfortunately, you can't. Only teachers can register their students for a visit. However, you can sign up for our summer camps individually.
Can anyone else visit Magic Valley? Can it be used by companies for team-building activities?
We only offer our program for groups of students aged 9-16. Should you take a professional interest in our centres or you wish to cooperate with us on a professional basis, please contact us individually.
Can educators register for a visit anytime?
No, they can't. We only open our online registration platform three times in a school year. We offer available dates for a time frame of three months in each registration window. That is the only way you can register for a visit at Magic Valley.
