Abstract
Racist violence, hate crime, extremism and negative attitudes toward different minority groups are increasing throughout Europe. The rise of populism and the number of young supporters of extremist movements and parties are worrisome tendencies and are common characteristics of post-socialist, authoritarian societies like Hungary’s. In this chapter we focus on how this young democratic society’s education system could strengthen pluralism, tolerance and acceptance of minorities.
