What truly makes Hungarian national identity unique? How can Hungarians preserve and keep traditions alive in today’s changing world? In this conversation, we explore how folk culture intertwines with national memory, and the role this living tradition plays in shaping communities. Our speakers will share their insights on safeguarding and passing down cultural heritage, and how the past can become a rich foundation for the present and future. A dialogue that delves into the roots and depths of identity.
