Last but not least, in the autumn of 2015 I had the opportunity of leading the educational programs of the exhibition on the poetry of Sándor Weöres, which had arrived to Pécs from the PetőfiLiterary Museum, Budapest. ?e aspects of interdisciplinary methods were especially useful for children aged 7–10, who were really open-minded receivers of the connections between nature and poetry.

My essay is an attempt to sum up the experiences of the three types of educational projects mentioned above. ?e title evoke one of the supernatural characters of the Hungarian folk-tales, called „Garabonciás”.
