In order to multiply the beneficial effects of the programs, a special interactive WEB site has been established as well. Each report can be watched on the VIDEO-LIBRARY of the MIKOM site, via the Internet, independent of time and space. A short thematic summary – in Hungarian – is also offered in order to support the visitors to find those topics, they are interested in. A Forum joint to this site has been also launched to offer possibilities to add comments and ask questions.
Each programme consists of three blocks of 8 minutes:
The first is titles as FOCUS– in this block, a special, central topic, question, problem or target group is introduced. The second block - VISIT - is also connected to this topic, but typically educational institutes or other, regional organisations are introduced, where solutions for the problems, outlined in the first part are offered. In the last block, concrete programs are introduced, which are available for the wide scale of target groups – titled as “AT YOUR DISPOSAL”. Objectives of these programs are the followings:
