about this program
ReConnect Hungary is a unique cultural, educational and social immersion program for young adults aged 18 to 26 of Hungarian heritage, born in the U.S. or Canada. In Summer 2013, a newer group of twelve individually selected, young American-Hungarians will begin a two week journey of rediscovery - to learn about Hungarian roots in a totally new way. You will gain a deeper understanding of your Hungarian heritage while enjoying a living culture.
allison's message
"My Hungarian heritage had long been a source of pride and an integral piece of who I was as a young American who, like so many others, comes from a diverse and eclectic family background. I felt my heritage when I looked at the pictures of my immigrant ancestors, heard the foreign words my relatives would mutter, and saw pictures of the rural place from where the Patakis originally came." (By our Ambassador, Allison Pataki Levy)
Congratulations to the Participants of ReConnect Hungary 2013!

14 young Americans and Canadians of Hungarian background have been accepted for the experience of a lifetime. You can meet them here. This year's ReConnect Hungary journey will be July 1-17. During the two week, one-of-a kind, cultural immersion program, the group will explore the country and experience Hungarian culture, traditions and history in a fun-filled, eye-opening way. They will see first-hand the trends, innovations and ingenuity driving Hungary today. Continue to follow their journey here and on Facebook, and check back soon to meet them up close and personal.

Due to large number of qualified applicants, we felt compelled to expand the number of participants for this year's trip. But this also means we need to raise more funds. So please support ReConnect Hungary 2013 however you can.
