FUNGARIAN EXPRESS is an informal learning package to promote better understanding of Hungarian culture in cooperation with the Intercultural Dialogue Foundation (IPA).
We believe that tourism fosters appreciation of national cultures and decreases negative stereotyping of different ethnic groups. Your “one hour” tuition fee contributes to sponsoring and developing our other non-profit projects, especially the Talent Search Agenda aimed at supporting socially disadvantaged children in the 10-15 age group.
Read more about it on the IPA webpage.
