Diaspora Programme to be announced for 2024 for Hungarians abroad
The Prime Minister’s Office, in partnership with the Rákóczi Alliance, is organising this year’s Diaspora Programme, Árpád János Potápi, the prime ministerial state secretary for Hungarian communities abroad, said on Wednesday.
The scheme launched in 2016 is tailored to reach the around 2-2.5 million diaspora Hungarians who want to preserve their national identity, Hungarian language and culture, he told a press conference.
Its aim is “to bring back” young Hungarians to the Carpathian Basin and the mother country, and teach them about the birth place of their ancestors, Potápi said. He noted that in its second year more than a thousand diaspora Hungarians applied to participate, and almost 700 young people from 32 countries attended summer camps and programmes last year.
Potápi said an online platform was launched for the Diaspora Programme on Wednesday with details posted in Hungarian and English. Various programmes are open for application until 15 March.
