 Event: Kutatók Éjszakája - Researcher's Night in Budapest - Macedonian night
Address: ELTE Bölcsészettudományi Kar (Building D)
Múzeum krt. 4., 1088 Budapest
Lake Ohrid in Macedonia
1st floor, room 125 and the outside corridor
Time: September 28, 2012 - 8.00-10.00 pm
Entrance fee: free




In the special night of September 28, 300 European cities will be part of European Commission's programme deemed Researcher's Night.





The motto of the event
 
"Exploring science through fun learning"

should be tempting enough for just anyone to join. Budapest, only to start with, offers many different programmes in various locations. The entrance to all of them is - Free! For more information about the organization and the programme itself, visit the official pages (in English) here.

I will, on the other hand, point out one special part of the programme in Budapest, which will be held from 8 pm at the Faculty of Humanities of ELTE:

Get to know Macedonia and Macedonian culture!

What the Macedonian Lectorate at ELTE has in plans for you is the following:

Macedonian flag


1. Interactive language performance (you will gain basic knowledge in Macedonian - introduction, etc.) plus a presentation on Turkish loan-words that are also used in Hungarian.
The presentation will also include info on the "Victorious day": the Olimpic Medals of Macedonia and Hungary (vocabulary on Olimpic games in Macedonian).


The second task the Lectorate has put upon themselves for Friday is connected to Macedonian (folklore) culture. This year has been very productive for the Macedonian dance group based in Budapest (I already wrote about it here, check it out). We successfully formed an official Macedonian Folk Ensemble, named "Ohrid", which is one of the most amazing things that came out of the 'táncház' that we've been preparing for some time now (again, you can join, too!).

For our dearest visitors we will present:
2. Presentation on interesting elements of Macedonian folklore. Afterwards, a TÁNCHÁZ for everyone (Macedonian dances in practice).
You will also be able to have your photo taken in an original Macedonian national dress. Wonderful, isn't it?

You can find more information (both in Hungarian and English on the following link. Perhaps you will find a few more attractive places/events. :)

To finish with, I'd like to invite all of you who are in Budapest to dance with us not only on Friday, but anytime you want. The dance houses are organized at least once a week, and they promise a lot of good times and fun. Apart from getting to know Macedonian folklore and dances, you can also learn the language at ELTE. Feel free to contact me (or the ensemble) or leave a comment if you're interested!
