How does the power of community help? Gábor Rakonczay shares his insights.

Swimming demands more than physical stamina – it requires mental resilience. According to multiple world record-holder and extreme athlete Gábor Rakonczay, this challenge becomes most intense over longer distances. In the water, you move alone. There is no external feedback, no applause, no cheers – just the steady rhythm of movement and breath. What truly matters is perseverance. As a key partner of the 43rd LIDL Balaton Crossing, Yettel’s mobile network plays a unique role this year – helping the encouragement of loved ones reach swimmers even in the middle of the lake.

Free artificial intelligence workshops continue over the summer holidays

School reports may already be filed away in drawers, but the learning doesn’t stop – at least not for teachers. Nearly 1,000 educators have already participated in Yettel’s digital education programme, ProSuli, a training series focused on artificial intelligence. Feedback shows not only strong interest, but also a continued demand for professional development. The July sessions will focus on how AI can ease teachers’ workloads by helping automate certain teaching tasks.

Traveling with your mobile is getting easier, but there are still a few practical things worth keeping in mind – from roaming to portable chargers and essential apps – if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises. Yettel offers a few tips to help make sure your holiday is perfect in this regard, too.

The film will come to Max on 20 June

The film We Are Azahriah will be available for streaming on Max (soon to be rebranded HBO Max) from 20 June, bringing viewers a truly unique perspective on Azahriah’s rise to fame. One scene in the film, which premiered in cinemas last November, features a rather unusual “easter egg” that may lead to a surprise when watched with the help of digital extension.

This spring, Yettel and Wolt launched a joint pilot programme to make technology devices and mobile communication services available with the same speed and convenience that Wolt customers have come to expect when ordering food. Following a successful pilot, the programme is now being significantly expanded.

The benefits of swimming are well known, yet many people only take the plunge at the start of the summer season. A recent study surveyed Hungarian swimmers to learn about the positive physiological effects they experience, what or who motivates them in the sport, and what goes through their minds while covering longer distances. Among the findings: nearly half of swimmers think about their to-do lists even in the water.
