Connecting Filipino Students in Hungary
The KUMUSTUHAN is a project aimed at benefiting the entire Filipino student community in Hungary. KUMUSTUHAN is an initiative that will involve AFSHu visiting various cities to meet with Filipino students studying across Hungary.
This informal gathering is intended to foster connections, provide a space for students to share their experiences, and help AFSHu understand the diverse needs of its members. The ultimate goal is to use these insights to design more targeted and impactful activities for Filipino students.
Project Kumustahan was spearheaded by the AFSHu 2023 – 2024.
No activities listed yet for this school year.
On May 3, 2024, the University of Debrecen (UniDeb) conducted the annual International Food Day where at least 30 countries participated and shared their local culinary delights. For several years now, the Filipino student community in UniDeb actively participates in this endeavor as proceeds from the event will go to charity.
This year, the International Food Day became extra special as Ambassador Frank Cimafranca and Consul Ria Gorospe of the Embassy of the Philippines graced the event and mingled with the Filipino students. As for the food, the Filipino student community prepared three dishes: chicken afritada, pancit, and bibingka.
The International Food Day 2024 was also considered as the last leg of the Project Kumustahan of AFSHu this 2024.
Last April 13, 2024, AFSHu visited two important libraries in Hungary: the National Széchényi Library and ELTE Library. Through the guided tours, student members were given an opportunity to know the history of the libraries, their significant collections, programs, and the esteemed Hungarians who made these libraries possible.
Meanwhile, a luncheon at the Oriental Soup House capped the Kumustahan in Budapest. AFSHu would like to thank the National Széchényi Library and ELTE Library for accommodating the Filipino student community in Hungary. We also extend our gratitude to Joseph Yap, Chairperson of the Board of Directors, for facilitating the library tours and organizing the Budapest Kumustahan.
Last March 9, 2024, AFSHu visited the City of Pécs to conduct the Kumustahan with the Filipino students who are studying at the University of Pécs. The Kumustuhan is highlighted by the city tour organized by Jorely Soria, former AFSHu secretary, and a luncheon with the Filipino student community.
AFSHu also attended and supported the International Evening 2024 wherein its student members in Pécs represented the Philippines by modeling some of our national costumes and through a dance presentation.
We would like to extend our gratitude to AFSHu BOD Roselle Torres for coordinating all the activities and the Filipino students from the University of Pécs for graciously welcoming and hosting AFSHu.
This Chinese New Year, AFSHu officers visited the City of Miskolc to meet with Filipino students who are studying at the University of Miskolc. We would like to thank Angelo and Brandon for touring us around the University and the City Centre.
On 12 January 2024, the officers and Board of Directors of AFSHu visited the charming City of Szeged to meet with Filipino students who are currently studying in the University of Szeged. We would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to BOD Ace Pagkaliwangan for organizing the tour and intimate gathering of students.
