Do you know what’s going to happen in Beja in April? Haven’t you heard?

The Polytechnic Institute of Beja is organizing a Hungarian Erasmus students encounter between April 14th and April 17th. This encounter is an excellent opportunity to get to know the local culture and habits of a very unique part of Portugal (Alentejo) and to contribute to the exchange between the Portuguese and the Hungarian culture.

This event is part of an initiative organized by the Polytechnic Institute of Beja and the University College in Szolnok, Cultural Encounters 2010: Portugal-Hungary.

The fee for participating in this event is €10,00 and includes accommodation, meals, transport from the train or bus station in Beja to the Polytechnic Institute and a ticket for the concert taking place on Thursday night.
