Mária Bihuňová, Miroslav Čibik, Roberta Štěpánková, Attila Tóth

In 2022, there was a possibility for the students of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia) to participate at the Landscape – Architectural proposal of Jandura park in Canberra, together with the students from The University of Canberra (Australia). Jandura Park is situated nearby to the suburbs O'Connor and Turner. It is named after Mr. Jan Jandura Puček, the first ‘non- British man’, who gain Australian Citizenship, at the first Australian citizenship ceremony at Canberra’s Albert Hall on 3 February 1949. He was born in 1914 in Habovka, Orava region in Slovakia. The cooperation between 2 universities was initiated by The Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Canberra. After 3 months of discussions 10 landscape architectural proposals of the park have been prepared. The posters were presented in the park and at The Embassy of SR in Canberra.
