In Hungarian families, 96% of grandparents maintain some form of contact with their grandchildren, and, in most families, older and younger people get on well with each other (86%). A sense of belonging is reflected in the fact that the majority of grandparents spend major family celebrations with their children and grandchildren (84%), according to the latest research by the Mária Kopp Institute for Demography and Families (KINCS). The representative survey also shows that the more grandchildren there are, the greater the feeling of happiness.
The Maria Kopp Institute took part in the GombaszögSummer Camp, the 32nd Tusványos summer open university and camp in Bálványos Transylvania, the MCC Festival in Esztergom and Tranzit festival in Tihany.

Mária Kopp was a pioneer of family-friendly thinking in Hungary, she and her husband started the Three Princes, Three Princesses Movement to support the birth of children and raising children.
In recent weeks, new plans to resettle migrants have emerged at EU decision-making levels, all the while the negative ramifications of misguided immigration policies have never been more evident. It has become very clear that migration is not the solution to Europe's demographic problems; despite the waves of large-scale immigration in recent years, the birth rate in Europe is falling and the number of children born to parents with immigrant background is also falling.
Parents gave schools a good report card, with more than 60 percent of the 130,000 respondents to a parent questionnaire giving their child's school a "4" or "5" (B or A grading), meaning they are satisfied with the teaching and learning work done there.
