For the first time, a Hungarian team succeeded in winning the High School Business Challenge competition organized by the European Enterprise Development Foundation for the 9th time, the Financial Compass Foundation announced.
The international final of Central and Eastern Europe's largest business competition for high school students was held in Warsaw at the beginning of July. At the end of the multi-day competition, the Pénziránytű Foundation consists of student ambassadors
The trio of Bence Nagy, Ákos Hidasi and Benedek Takács finished in the lead.
The strangely named Trois Cent Soixante Croissants team has been performing well in financial and entrepreneurial competitions here for years, but this year's international success makes them stand out from the ever-larger and stronger domestic field.
The national semi-finals of the High School Business Challenge were already held in English. The participants faced real business challenges in four rounds. After the first three national rounds, the best teams met in the international final held at the Polish Prime Minister's Chancellery, where the Hungarian team won at the end of several days of tough competition.
The students of Balassi Bálint Eight-Year High School in Budapest who graduated this year are students of Figura Magdolna. The members of the Hungarian team have been interested in finance and the business world since the age of five.
According to the students, the secret of their success - in addition to their previous competition experience - lies in their teamwork, creativity and commitment.
Their preparatory teacher, Magdolna Figura, emphasized that the teacher must participate as a mentor in the joint work, in which the initial sharing of knowledge as a teacher must be replaced over time by support activities, encouragement, and problem-raising.
