Hungarian government: 2024 year of cooperating nation

The year 2024 will be about “the nation of cooperation”, the state secretary in charge of policies for Hungarian communities abroad said on Monday, outlining programme plans for this year.

In addition to strengthening and supporting the Hungarian institutional system abroad, the State Secretariat plans to build networks in all areas of life and implement programmes aimed at promoting cooperation of these networks, Áprád János Potápi told a press conference.

Similarly to last year, students participating in Hungarian language education in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, as well as at universities beyond the borders, will be awarded a 100,000 forint (EUR 260) grant, he said. Around 12,000 Hungarian teachers beyond the borders will continue to receive support, Potápi added.

The Sándor Kőrösi Csoma and Sándor Petőfi scholarship schemes will also continue to run this year after participation of 132 youth in the schemes last year, Potápi said, noting that under the Kőrösi Csoma scheme 25 young Hungarians would begin their nine-month programme in the southern diaspora communities overseas next week.
