From August 13 to 17, 2008, the U.S. Embassy operated an informational tent at one of Europe’s largest summer festivals, the Sziget Festival, which this year attracted more than 70,000 young people daily. In the tent, representatives from the Embassy and from three educational advising organizations--the Fulbright Commission, the International Institute for Education and the Hungarian American Enterprise Scholarship Fund--provided information about studying in and traveling to the United States.

Each day the Embassy organized thematic programs to introduce various aspects of American culture (music, dance, diversity, sports and elections) and engaged youth interactively in activities that could bring them closer to the United States.
