In our recurring\u00a0Week in the life of the Hungarian Diaspora<\/a>\u00a0series, we\u2019ll be looking back at recent events and exploring the many success stories of the\u00a0K\u0151r\u00f6si Csoma S\u00e1ndor Program, which targets Hungarians outside the Carpathian Basin, and the\u00a0Pet\u0151fi\u00a0S\u00e1ndor Program<\/a>, which focuses on dispersed Hungarian communities beyond the borders of Hungary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bus\u00f3j\u00e1r\u00e1s in Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hungarian children in Austin, Texas got to take part in the Moh\u00e1cs tradition of Bus\u00f3j\u00e1r\u00e1s ahead of Lent. They made their own masks at the arts and crafts workshop and later wore them in the Bus\u00f3 parade.<\/p>\n

With temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius, the winter farewell took on a special atmosphere in Texas. Despite the warm weather, the Hungarian community went through with the celebration, and with the help of the children, scared away winter for good. Now, Hungarians can officially say that Spring has come to Texas.<\/p>\n

Scout Oath and Promise in Wallingford<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 10, the Connecticut-based 3rd Ferenc Beodray Scout Group\u2019s Nyuszi (Bunny) Patrol took an oath and traded in their polka-dotted scarfs for blue ones. The S\u00fcni (Hedgehog) Patrol also took an oath, receiving a new green scarf in front of their leaders, friends and parents.<\/p>\n

As a Szilvia Papp K\u0151r\u00f6si scholarship holder pointed out, group scout leaders often have the difficult task of preparing programs which will strongly motivate children to participate. In America, this is perhaps even more difficult to accomplish, given that scouts sometimes have to travel great distances to attend events. She also pointed out that the leaders and children take special care to communicate in Hungarian instead of English because preserving the language is a high priority.<\/p>\n

At the event, they declared Hungarian a window to the outside world. After all, the language can be used to communicate with other Hungarian scouts from all over the world. By learning the language, they can sing Hungarian folk songs, proudly wear the Hung\u00e1ria badge on their uniforms, sing the Hungarian Anthem and greet each other with \u201cJ\u00f3 munk\u00e1t!\u201d (Good work!).<\/p>\n

First Western Diaspora Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The first Western Diaspora Conference took place between 15-16 March at the Independent Hungarian Reformed Church of Ontario. Representatives of Hungarian organizations, churches and schools from the West Coast of the United States attended the event. The conference was held with the support of Tam\u00e1s Sz\u00e9les, the Consul General of Los Angeles. P\u00e9ter Szil\u00e1gyi, the ministerial commissioner for the coordination of responsibilities related to Hungarians beyond the borders, was also in attendance. The conference began with a brief introduction followed by a traditional Hungarian program. Prior to an introduction to the K\u0151r\u00f6si Csoma S\u00e1ndor Program the next day, the attendees extensively discussed the mother country. The program continued with presentations by church and scout leaders, then proceeded with reports delivered by the honorary consuls and Hungarian schools. In addition, the crowd enjoyed lectures on cultural, scientific and foreign economic issues.<\/p>\n

Ballad Recitation<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Competition in Honor of J\u00e1nos Arany\u2019s Birthday<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In honor of J\u00e1nos Arany\u2019s 102nd birthday (2 March 1817), the Ukrainian-Hungarian Educational and Scientific Institute held its third annual Transcarpathian ballad recitation competition at the University of Ungv\u00e1r (UNE UMOTI). Many of the children were first introduced to Hungarian ballads by the event, and now, they had their chance to experience the rush of standing in front of the jury. The event began with a writer-reader meeting and an extraordinary reading class and ended with a ballad recitation competition.<\/p>\n

Preserving Traditions in Sarajevo<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This year, Hungarians living in Sarajevo dedicated an entire weekend (16-19 March) to commemorating the national holiday on March 15th. With the help of the Rakonca Folk Dance Ensemble, the Dobroda Orchestra and the Motolla Handicraft Circle, the event was a success. Participants toured the old town and learned about the history of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aside from attending a J\u00f3zsef Farkas exhibition titled, \u201cTan\u00fahegyek,\u201d Hungarians also tested their dance skills at a dance house under the supervision of professionals. The local children learned about Hungarian traditions and folk art.<\/p>\n

Bus\u00f3j\u00e1r\u00e1s in Texas Hungarian children in Austin, Texas got to take part in the Moh\u00e1cs tradition of Bus\u00f3j\u00e1r\u00e1s ahead of Lent. They made their own masks at the arts and crafts workshop and later wore them in the Bus\u00f3 parade. With temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius, the winter farewell took on a special atmosphere in Texas. Despite the warm weather, the Hungarian community went through with the celebration, and with the help of the children, scared away winter for good. Now, Hungarians can officially say that Spring has come to Texas. Scout Oath and Promise in Wallingford On March 10, the Connecticut-based 3rd Ferenc Beodray Scout Group\u2019s Nyuszi (Bunny) Patrol took an oath and traded in their polka-dotted scarfs for blue ones. The S\u00fcni (Hedgehog) Patrol also took an oath, receiving a new green scarf in front of their leaders, friends and parents. As a Szilvia Papp K\u0151r\u00f6si scholarship holder pointed out, group scout leaders often have the difficult task of preparing programs which will strongly motivate children to participate. In America, this is perhaps even more difficult to accomplish, given that scouts sometimes have to travel great distances to attend events. She also pointed out that the leaders and children take special care to communicate in Hungarian instead of English because preserving the language is a high priority. At the event, they declared Hungarian a window to the outside world. After all, the language can be used to communicate with other Hungarian scouts from all over the world. By learning the language, they can sing Hungarian folk songs, proudly wear the Hung\u00e1ria badge on their uniforms, sing the Hungarian Anthem and greet each other with \u201cJ\u00f3 munk\u00e1t!\u201d (Good work!). First Western Diaspora Conference The first Western Diaspora Conference took place between 15-16 March at the Independent Hungarian Reformed Church of Ontario. Representatives of Hungarian organizations, churches and schools from the West Coast of the United States attended the event. The conference was held with the support of Tam\u00e1s Sz\u00e9les, the Consul General of Los Angeles. P\u00e9ter Szil\u00e1gyi, the ministerial commissioner for the coordination of responsibilities related to Hungarians beyond the borders, was also in attendance. The conference began with a brief introduction followed by a traditional Hungarian program. Prior to an introduction to the K\u0151r\u00f6si Csoma S\u00e1ndor Program the next day, the attendees extensively discussed the mother country. The program continued with presentations by church and scout leaders, then proceeded with reports delivered by the honorary consuls and Hungarian schools. In addition, the crowd enjoyed lectures on cultural, scientific and foreign economic issues. Ballad Recitation\u00a0Competition in Honor of J\u00e1nos Arany\u2019s Birthday In honor of J\u00e1nos Arany\u2019s 102nd birthday (2 March 1817), the Ukrainian-Hungarian Educational and Scientific Institute held its third annual Transcarpathian ballad recitation competition at the University of Ungv\u00e1r (UNE UMOTI). Many of the children were first introduced to Hungarian ballads by the event, and now, they had their chance to experience the rush of standing in front of the jury. The event began with a writer-reader meeting and an extraordinary reading class and ended with a ballad recitation competition. Preserving Traditions in Sarajevo This year, Hungarians living in Sarajevo dedicated an entire weekend (16-19 March) to commemorating the national holiday on March 15th. With the help of the Rakonca Folk Dance Ensemble, the Dobroda Orchestra and the Motolla Handicraft Circle, the event was a success. Participants toured the old town and learned about the history of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Aside from attending a J\u00f3zsef Farkas exhibition titled, \u201cTan\u00fahegyek,\u201d Hungarians also tested their dance skills at a dance house under the supervision of professionals. The local children learned about Hungarian traditions and folk art.
