This year?s European Days of Culture festival is focusing on Budapest and the Hungarian city of Pécs, which is a 2010 European Capital of Culture.
Head of the Karlsruhe cultural bureau Susanne Asche said that this year's festival will promote cultural diversity. Many Germans still see Hungary in the clichés of "paprika, Gypsy music and Piroska", and the festival organisers are determined to changes this, she added.
More than 50 Hungarian productions, featuring about 1,000 Hungarian and German performers, will participate at the festival with the support of the Hungarian Ministry of Education and Culture, the cities of Budapest and Pécs, the Pécs2010 European Capital of Culture Management Office, the Hungarian consulate in Munich and the Hungarian Institute in Stuttgart.
