This brochure presents the tasks and activities of the Balassi Institute

A national institute established to support the worldwide community of Hungarian education, the Balassi Institute Balassi Institute plays a key role in the professional direction of cultural affairs. Its main objective is to project a quality-oriented image of our nation, thereby increasing Hungary’s prestige in the international sphere, while strengthening and preserving all facets of Hungarian culture both within and outside of Hungary’s borders. The Institute not only spreads and promotes Hungarian culture abroad, it also introduces the traditions and cultures preserved by Hungarians from outside our borders to those living in Hungary today. The Institute’s uniqueness therefore lies in the content and scope of its activities as well as in the methodology used to reach its goals.

The Balassi Institute Hungarian Cultural Centre London made this book in celebration of the Hungarian Culture Day on 22 January 2013. To mark this special event, the Balassi Institute Hungarian Cultural Centre London invited British poets to contribute to this book with a poem of their own written in response to the poems of the Hungarian poet Attila József.
