On June 4, Hungary commemorates National Unity Day, marking the signing of the Treaty of Trianon in 1920. This treaty significantly reduced Hungary’s territory and population, making the day a moment of essential remembrance and unity.

At AIC, the Pre9 class organised the event. In preparation, they created posters on the topic, which were displayed in the school corridors. Through this creative work, students gained a deeper understanding of the historical background and emotional impact of the day.

An English presentation by Wentao Cheng stood out for its clarity and depth, explaining the causes and consequences of the treaty. The event also highlighted how it can be difficult for international students to connect emotionally with another country’s history, but group activities helped bridge this gap.

After the presentation, students in groups completed a quiz and worked on a puzzle of Greater Hungary (pre-Trianon), symbolising national unity.

The day was not only educational but also meaningful, as it helped students reflect on the past and the importance of remembering it together.
