The Rákóczi Association is commemorating the 1956 Revolution and Freedom Fight with the participation of 10,000 high school and university students. Between 21 and 23 October, nearly 3,000 secondary school and university students came to Budapest for the Gloria Victis 1956 commemoration.

Alongside 140 secondary schools from the Carpathian Basin, more than 7,000 students will travel to another Hungarian secondary school to celebrate by crossing at least one border.
