During his mobility, beyond the classroom engagement, where Bánhidi demonstrated the socio-economic role of recreational areas through international examples, students had the opportunity to follow his lectures also outdoors at a water sports camp organized by SUT, besides these teaching opportunities, Bánhidi also offered special consultation opportunities for those interested.

Bánhidi highlighted that in addition to the various sports activities organized in the water camp (SUP, sea kayaking, diving), the students received methodological training related to sports as well as some ideas for starting a business. He further noted that the students of the Hungarian University of Sports Sicence (HUSS) may have an excellent opportunity to expand their knowledge and experiences, since due to the different geographical conditions they could acquire knowledge about new sports, skills and abilities unknown to them, not to mention the possibilities of expanding their professional networking.

During his visit, Bánhidi represented HUSS at various professional meetings in addition to his compulsory classes. There are various possibilities of cooperation with the Department of Recreation of HUSS in the field of education (active participation in the creation of a BSc in English), research (hosting a youth research group in Tirana, developing education with relevant Hungarian literature), Erasmus + (further mobility support) and sports (inviting SUT students to take part in a joint European dance group).

Overall, this mobility was highly successful since the educational activities carried out during the seven-day long visit as well as the various discussions strengthened the co-operation between the two institutions and made it possible to prepare further concrete ideas for implementation. As a next step in early July, two more lecturers from the Faculty at the Recreation Department will participate in the mountain camp organised by SUT, and in August Head of the Department of Sport Management Professor Gábor Géczi and International Director Dr Judit Kádár will also visit Tirana to prepare the implementation of two joint training and research projects.
