"Meet Tradition"
Workshop for children aged 7-14
This workshop is an interactive introduction to Hungarian folk tradition. It is an imaginary journey all through the Carpathian Basin. The travel mates are the dancers of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, the folk singer and storyteller Éva Fábián and folk handicrafts instructors.
This day is a great chance for children to get to know the traditional heritage of the Carpathian Basin; to sing, dance and play the same way as most Hungarian children of bygone times used to do.
