State Secretary Lőrinc Nacsa greets young camp participants from Transcarpathia
“This year, the Diaspora Program is offering young people of Hungarian nationality or descent between the ages of 10 to 25 the opportunity to attend a camp in Hungary to strengthen their connection to Hungarian language, culture, and community,” announced Lőrinc Nacsa, State Secretary for National Policy of the Prime Minister’s Office on Thursday at a press conference held at the Rákóczi camp in Sátoraljaújhely (northeastern Hungary).
Hungary Today was in attendance at the press conference, where the politician recalled that the program was launched ten years ago with the aim of bringing young people living in the diaspora (many of whom have never been to the country of their predecessors) to Hungary to spend a week in the community as part of a eventful program. In many cases, these are young people who live thousands of kilometers away from Hungary.
Lőrinc Nacsa said that during the camp, they are introduced to the history and culture of the Carpathian Basin, the defining traditions and built heritage, and are encouraged to form community ties with young Hungarians living in the Carpathian Basin.

The State Secretary indicated that participants’ knowledge of their native language will also be developed with the help of experts, as preserving one’s native language is one of the key factors in preserving one’s Hungarian identity.
Obviously, we are also helping to strengthen the relationship between the diaspora and the mother country, as this program reinforces the relationship between Hungary and the diaspora organizations from which young people come,”
he emphasized.
Fact
Children from the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia, Ukraine, as well as Ukrainian children have been welcomed for years by staff and volunteers of the Rákóczi Association youth camp located in the picturesque hills of Eastern Hungary’s Sátoraljaújhely. The Rákóczi Association has been the owner and operator of the event center since March 2019, thanks to the financial support of the Hungarian Government. The Rákóczi Camp and Event Center is one of the largest youth accommodation facilities in Eastern Hungary. It is located 300 meters above sea level in a five-hectare pine forest, and can accommodate up to 480 people at a time.

The renewed Rákóczi Camp and Event Center opened their doors in June 2021, with the aim of becoming a major meeting place for Hungarian youth in the coming decades.

Lőrinc Nacsa added that their hope and experience is that young people returning from the program will be more active in their own communities.
It is important that those who come here have a community experience that strengthens their Hungarian identity. This is something that everyone can support, and it is important that we do not let the results of national policy go to waste, he concluded.
Csongor Csáky, President of the Rákóczi Association, emphasized in his speech that since 2016, thousands of young people have come to Hungary from all over the world. Last year alone, around 700 young people from 33 countries took part in the Diaspora Program in Sátoraljaújhely.
This also shows that we Hungarians are a global nation,”
he said.
He pointed out that Hungarian youth between the ages of 10 and 25 living in countries outside the Carpathian Basin can apply for the program from Thursday until March 23.
They must also attach a letter of recommendation to their application, certifying that they play an active role in a Hungarian diaspora community. This could be a scout troop, Sunday school, or Hungarian church community, he explained.
The President of the Association indicated that the first event will be the pilgrimage to Csíksomlyó, but in the summer, they are expecting young people at additional themed camps, mostly in Sátoraljaújhely. The campers will also spend time in Budapest, and the goal is to visit another location outside Hungary.
He believes that it is important for parents that their children arrive in a country where they will be safe.

Hungary Today had the chance to talk to three boys from Transcarpathia (Ukraine), who revealed their favorite experiences from the camp activities. All of them pointed out the day trips to the Castle of Füzér and Cigánd (both in northeastern Hungary) as the highlights, but also emphasized the friendliness of the teachers, the warm, cozy rooms and the delicious food as the most cherished memories from the camp. One of the boys attended the camp for the second time and told Hungary Today that it felt like a completely different experience compared to the spring session, but one that was just as exciting.
Those interested can apply for the Diaspora Program on the Rákóczi Association’s website.
