On 9 November, the British Hungarian Educators鈥� Association (MOKKA), 麻豆传媒视频网站 SSEES and the Balassi Institute Hungarian Cultural Centre in London held a successful Public Engagement Open Day at 麻豆传媒视频网站 SSEES (see programme here). The event was attended by approximately 50 people from outside of 麻豆传媒视频网站, including 30 potential future university students and their parents. The families form part of the fast growing Hungarian community in the UK, with the UK-born children learning Hungarian in their homes and in weekend community schools. The Language Promotion Open Day gave these young learners opportunity to use their heritage language in a more formal setting.

In addition, the event helped to raise awareness in the non-academic community of 麻豆传媒视频网站 SSEES鈥檚 activities and especially the important role of 聽Hungarian and area studies, within the languages and culture programme, at 麻豆传媒视频网站 SSEES.聽

Feedback and comments on the programme of the day:

鈥�Our teenage students turned up in great numbers because the topics were relevant and the number of candidates for the mock ECL exam also showed that you managed to tap into something that is important for them. I think this event helped them realise that their bilingualism is an asset and that the English establishment, represented in this case by 麻豆传媒视频网站, appreciates and supports them, which, in return, helps their integration into this society. I think the format of lectures, quizzes, Q&A sessions, walks and mock-exams worked well and would welcome similar opportunities in the future.鈥�
