United Games Hungary
The aim of our festival is, to show people, that after the high-season in the tourism, we can also travel, change, get to know new culutres. In Hungary after summer we don’t have big numbers in visitors, normally just a few. We have touristic markets just on Spring, that is why we decided, to show people Eruope, when they do not have so much opportunities to learn about new cultures, habits, folklores. The participant countries will have the chance during the Intercultural Day to show people their own language, culture, specialities through dances, songs, traditional clothes, brochures, short movies, drinks and food.
