The aHang Team
Enzo Angiulli
I've been programming since 1995. I contribute to the development of tools that I believe make the world a better place. At aHang, I focus on creating and operating communication tools that allow citizens to raise their voices and gather support for their causes.
Tamás Varga
I’ve been active in civil and human rights stuff pretty much forever — as a translator, program coordinator, volunteer, and more. As a blogger, I’ve gained experience in social media and creative visuals. I use these skills to help aHang be heard across the internet.
Róbert Bordás
I've been making documentaries since 2003, and since 2009, I've also worked with NGOs as a filmmaker. I find it very important to present the stories of people who are oppressed or exploited by those in power. aHang represents values I see as exemplary, and I feel it’s my role to portray the organization authentically.
Gergő Hajdu
Community organizing brings real causes, real content, and real stories. Digital organizing expands visibility, support bases, and ultimately, pressure. With aHang, we combine these methods to help communities stand up for their interests.
Csaba Madarász
For over 20 years, I’ve worked on developing democratic institutions at local, national, and European levels in various formats. aHang provides a public democratic service to every Hungarian citizen. I work on expanding and improving this, and on effectively connecting people, technology, and democracy.
Andrea Purtczl
I've worked in the nonprofit sector in finance for nearly three decades. I feel at home among numbers – but I care about more than just figures. I believe it matters that my work, even indirectly, helps community initiatives succeed and brings about positive social change.
Luca Soltész
Politics and public life have been part of my world since childhood. After the 2018 elections, I moved abroad, graduated from university, worked in the European Parliament, and learned a lot. I hope my work at aHang helps build a healthier society, regardless of who is in power.
Bence Szakács
I started working with the Civil College Foundation and other NGOs in 2005. After aHang was founded, I occasionally supported the team. Since 2024, I’ve been fully focused on supporting the organization’s smooth operation behind the scenes.
Viktor Szalóki
As a political scientist, I’ve learned that while politics may seem like an elite playground, ordinary people have more power than they think. I joined aHang to help bring this power to more local and national communities. Here, we have the knowledge and tools to do just that.
Boglárka Tarcsay
As a sociologist, I care deeply about research and understanding social problems scientifically. But without real answers and bottom-up community solutions, this means little. For me, aHang is both a response and a tool to find more solutions.
Enikő Tóth
I studied humanities and social sciences, and worked as a journalist and in marketing. What matters to me most is social equality, especially gender equality. I work at aHang because I believe these goals can be achieved through solidarity, communication, and empowerment.
József Gajzágó
I began my university studies at Corvinus in 2023. That same year, I worked with aHang on the alternative referendum campaign, initially as a member of the United Student Front. I’m glad to be part of aHang because I believe our local and national campaigns are built on collective action, which is the key to progress.
Máté Varga
I’ve been involved in community initiatives, activism, networks, and movements since 1997. For a long time, we focused on spreading the method of community organizing in Hungary. Later, our focus shifted toward digital organizing. What interests me most about aHang is how we can take action on our shared causes with as many people as possible, in the most organized way possible.
Regional Coordinators (aPont)
Eszter Békefi
I first joined NGOs with a political focus in 2017, beside my regular job. In 2021, I coordinated the volunteers for the primaries in Budapest and have since supported aHang on several occasions, such as during the alternative education referendum. In 2024, I was asked to build an active team of Budapest-based volunteers.
Ildikó Fazekas
My profession is tied to contemporary culture, which I believe should include active thought and discussion about current public affairs. I work to make the attitude of "I'm not political" less accepted and to encourage more citizens to take part in shaping their lives.
Zsolt Jakab
I’ve been involved in community development for twenty years. Since 2023, I’ve been coordinating activists in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County so we can experience the positive results of civic engagement between election cycles. With the aPont activists, we aim to establish new local teams and create a healthier public life across the county.
Tibor Köcse
I studied economics and marketing, and I’ve worked in various political movements and NGOs. I enjoy working with aHang because I can directly support those who want to take responsibility for their communities and represent bold, forward-looking causes.
Lujza Sikoparija
Originally trained as a special education teacher, I’ve long felt that working in this area alone isn’t enough. Before joining aHang, we launched the blog "After I Quit" with my partner after resigning as teachers. Now, as the proud coordinator of Borsod, I work with the aPont Miskolc team to help make our city and county a better place.
Ágnes Szép-Magyar
I studied cultural management, community organizing, and most recently, mediation. Activism has always been part of my life. If I care about a cause, I speak up. That’s how I came to aHang, where I support local communities to work together more effectively for shared goals.
Rebeka Tóth
Since 2021, I’ve worked on national and local campaigns in Csongrád County. I’m especially motivated by the persistence of volunteer activists and the smile when someone says, "It would be great if this succeeded!" Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t, but we always learn. It’s important to me to do socially meaningful work, and this is exactly that.
Ágnes Tollas
After living in Western Europe for an extended period, I’ve been back in Hungary since 2010. To me, aHang is not just an NGO, but an oasis whose democratic values I fully share. I feel that through my work here, I contribute to creating positive social change.
Fanni Havay
I previously studied acting and pedagogy, and now I’m studying engineering subjects. What do these have in common? Not much, really. But no matter what I was doing, public issues always played a huge role in my life. I want to help people in Veszprém County take part in shaping our society together.
