Among other things, he spoke to the young people about the factors that led the country to become successful both economically and politically.

András Bereczki stressed that in Estonia, Hungarians are loved and Hungarian literature is well known. In addition, cooperation and interest in the language is a common bond.

Zoltán Árpási, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, pointed out that Estonia is an innovative and digital country, which is enough for high school and university students to learn a lot during the day.

The Dean pointed out that they are working hard to rebuild their Erasmus programmes following the outbreak of the coronavirus. As a result, the number of students studying abroad for several semesters is steadily increasing. A group of first-year students have recently returned from Timisoara, where they took part in a week-long intensive programme. This weekend they will travel to Lithuania for a similar event.
