1. From Hungarian Point of View

2.  In ’Bácska’ south of Hungary live many nationalities:  Serbian  German  Croatian  and Hungarian, but they live without problems with together.

4.  Our region is called Northern Bácska, which is very close to the Serbian border in the South of Hungary. It is a typically multiethnic region, which gave us the idea to study this multiethnic feature and the different minorities living here.

6.  In 17-18. century, after the Turkish Rule this area became uninhabited, so Southern Slave people escaping here.  In the 18. century the Austro-Hungarian Queen, Maria Theresa wanted these regions to develop, so she encouraged Southern German people to come and settle down in this part of Hungary.

7.  After the II. World War many German people had to leave their homelands and they were forced to go back to Germany.  At the same time a lot of Hungarians had to leave their homes in Transylvania, Moldova, Bukovina and in the North of Hungary. They moved to Northen Bácska.

9.  Since then they have been living here together and we cannot state that they always did it in peace and quiet, but after a while they realised that their only chance to survive was to live together in peace.  So now we are friends, we get married together and we respect each other.

10.  In April of 2013 the participants of Comenius Project spent a week in Rome.
