From May 30th to 3rd of June, 2000 we had our third meeting in Debrecen. These were some of our highlights.

The Great Calvinist Church of Debrecen. The event that made the Great Calvinist Church of Debrecen really significant was that the Declaration of Independence was announced in that building on 14th April 1849 and Lewis Kossuth was appointed to the Regent of Hungary. |

The Great Hungarian Plain stretches from the Danube to the country’s eastern border. The Hungarian puszta (the word puszta means empty, bare, grassy plain) is a distant relative of the prairies, pampas and steppes - one of the most popular tourism destinations in Europe. This flat expanse occupies well over a third of Hungary’s entire area. |

Puszta
Arid grasslands that once covered a large part of the Alföld, Hungary. They were used for extensive cattle raising. With the irrigation and drainage projects of the late 19th cent., the Puszta disappeared except in the small Hortobagy region (c.100 sq mi/260 sq km), near Debrecen. Old customs of the Puszta are preserved there. |
At that meeting we mainly focused on the following topics which we have planned and created for that meeting:
 |
