Hello, everyone! My name is Péter Szaffkó living in Debrecen. I have the honour to speak about Debrecen Summer School which many of you might have heard about. Although I have managed the school only since 2009, I have lots of connections with Hungarians living in North America. I taught Hungarian language and culture at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, between 1981-83 and at the University of Toronto in 2008/09. I met many Hungarian-Americans and Hungarian-Canadians in New York, New Brunswick, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal and I will never forget these wonderful experiences.
