About the Event

The festival took place at the Lycée Français Alexandre Dumas in Moscow and brought together representatives from 27 European countries and 24 languages. The program featured language lessons, speak dating with native speakers, workshops, lectures, a book swap, VR activities, national dances, and cultural activities for children.

Hungarian Program

The Hungarian program and exhibition stand was supported by Egis and OTP Bank was supported the Hungarian program and exhibition stand as official partners.

Festival participants had the opportunity to explore European languages, interact with teachers and native speakers, and learn more about the cultural life of European countries. Special attention was given to the children’s program, which included interactive sessions, creative workshops, and trial lessons.

Throughout the day, guests immersed themselves in the atmosphere of the Hungarian language and culture through a series of engaging activities.

• The lesson “Amazing Hungarian” introduced participants to the alphabet, vocabulary, and grammar.
• The “Hungarikum Quiz” offered a fun and informative look at Hungary’s cultural phenomena.
• In the session “Idioms, Humor, and Memes”, participants explored unique expressions and the humorous side of the Hungarian language.
• The lesson “Nostalgia and Cultural Codes” provided a glimpse into Hungary’s pop culture over the past decades.
• “Fashionable Hungary” introduced the history of traditional clothing and the symbolism of colors.
• “Hungarian Journey” became a virtual tour of the country, its landscapes, UNESCO heritage sites, and iconic Hungarian products known as hungarikums.

An additional online lesson was held by the Paprika School, where participants practiced talking about their preferences and hobbies and explored the nuances of Hungarian grammar.

Supporting such initiatives is part of Egis’ cultural and social mission, aimed at fostering an open, multilingual, and inclusive society. We are proud to be part of events that bring people together through culture, education, and dialogue.
