During the Erasmus Day at the Alföldi Agricultural Vocational Training Center’s Gregus Máté Agricultural Technikum and Vocational School, international students from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Szeged promoted studying abroad to the school’s 10th and 13th grade students.

The Erasmus Day on October 16, 2025, was organized simultaneously across the entire European Union. Among the 4,179 European and 147 Hungarian events, the Gregus Máté Agricultural Technikum and Vocational School in Hódmezővásárhely also joined the initiative to help raise awareness of the Erasmus+ program.

The SZTE Faculty of Agriculture was represented by a group of international students of the English-language Agricultural Engineering (BSc) program: Luyao Wang, a third-year Chinese student, Akaya A Clever second-year and Chiamaka Goodness Chukwuma third-year students from Nigeria, and Samandar Muminov first-year student from Uzbekistan.

The international students shared with the ’Gregus’ students where they came from, what they study, why they chose Hungary specifically, and what their home cultures are like. They also spoke about the cultural differences they’ve experienced, their impressions of Hungarian people, and even introduced the agricultural practices, traditional costumes and dishes of their home countries.

Luyao Wang from China treated the students to Chinese white tea and the famous White Rabbit candy.

The Nigerian students, Akaya A Clever and Chiamaka Goodness Chukwuma, offered the high schoolers a taste of garri – a common Nigerian food in granulated form that school-aged children typically consume mixed with water, powdered milk, and sugar.

Anita Mónus, a educational coordinator, gave a PowerPoint presentation to introduce the training programs offered by the SZTE Faculty of Agriculture.
Meanwhile, second-year full-time agricultural engineering students Richárd Sándor and Valter Grósz shared their personal experiences about campus life with the high school audience.
