The U.S.-Hungary Fulbright Commission recently welcomed its newest cohort of American grantees to Hungary with a comprehensive 2 + 1-day orientation program.

The program kicked off with two days of presentations covering a range of topics designed to prepare the scholars for their time in Hungary, including U.S.-Hungarian cultural differences and connections, history, language, higher education, politics, and practical matters.

On the 3rd day, the Commission organized a guided walking tour of City Park (Liget Budapest.), showcasing landmarks such as

  • House of Music, Hungary (Magyar Zene Háza)
  • George Washington statue
  • Museum of Ethnography (Néprajzi Múzeum)

The tour provided the grantees with an opportunity to explore Budapest’s cultural offerings and connect with Hungarian heritage.
