Teacher, social worker, human rights activist; founding director of the Diverse Youth Network

​

His work focuses on human dignity, equality and solidarity between minority communities. He consistently advocates that the freedom and security of Roma, LGBTQ+, religious, ethnic, disabled and other marginalized groups cannot be separated from each other. In his assistance and advocacy work, he considers dialogue, personal encounters and joint action as the basis for breaking down prejudices.

The Diverse Youth Network he founded organizes programs with an intersectional human rights perspective and initiates collaborations between different minority communities. The organization's defining event is the Freedom of My Identity Human Rights Festival in Pécs, which provides a space for the voices of those affected at conferences, workshops, cultural events and community discussions. The festival's closing event is Pécs Pride, Hungary's first rural Pride parade.

He also organizes educational and awareness-raising programs for the memory of the Roma Holocaust and the powder keg. As the head of the Southern Transdanubian Roma Rights and Information Center, he works on investigating violations of rights, supporting those affected, and strengthening the advocacy of Roma communities. He taught Roma studies, Romani language, and Roma folklore at Gandhi High School for eight years, and was a mentor teacher at the Snétberger Music Talent Center for five years. He previously worked in a children's home, and later as a social worker helping homeless people.

His activities simultaneously serve historical memory, legal protection and creating opportunities for young people. He plays a significant role in the regional transmission of the Romani language, including the Lovari language. According to the nomination materials, his human rights role had serious professional and existential consequences, but despite the difficulties, he continued his pedagogical, social and community organizing work. His personal perseverance exemplifies that social solidarity is not an occasional gesture, but a long-term commitment that also involves taking risks.
