Commemorating the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, we shall have a photo documentary exhibition, recalling the memories of the revolution. The Hungarian Language course commences this season and we shall felicitate the successful students from the past batch.

In an effort to diversify our activities, we will have concerts, exhibitions and film screenings as part of other Festivals including Rendezvous-IIT Delhi, Delhi International Art Festival, Little Europe Film Festival, European Union Sanskriti Festival and many more.I wish to extend my personal invitation to all the friends and visitors of HICC to enjoy the colours of Hungary.
