Resumo: Our association, founded by university professors and social-science researchers, studies the social changes and transformations in the South Region of Hungary and beyond. Our main activities include the examination of ethnic and cultural diversity in our region. Our experts participate in studying the processes associated with strengthening civil society at the regional and national levels. We hope to foster an understanding of new social processes generated by EU membership. Our other goal is, to discover and develop, best practices and innovative approaches mainly in the fields of integration of disadvantaged groups and in youth sociology. It is also important to us to support young entrants, entering labour market to gain work experience.

Our Association organizes different programs and projects since many years with young people, especially with fewer opportunities (mainly with Roma and migrant youngsters and children). The main projects are e.g mentorprograms, information point, community space, local and international worksops, conferences, editing publications and practices.

The main projects our volunteers, and youngsters are also involved are the following:
- In the last 3 years the “Mentoring Programme for Integration”, “Mentoring program for integration”, and its predecessor “Extending the Adaptation of Mentoring Programme for Integration” is a program for migrant children living in Hungary, for supporting their learning and integration in the school and community.
- Ötletfa (Tree of Ideas) is an information office, community space to help disadvantaged (especially Roma children) to usefully spend their leisure time and get involved in informal and non-formal learning.
- Youth is Tolerance: The objective of the project is to establish and test comprehensive model for combating racism and anti-Roma stereotypes in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Hungary among young people aged 14-25. It uses peer education method that trains and engages active young people with broad set of activities for overcoming anti-Roma stereotypes. The volunteers are organizing workshops, performances and different programs in local schools and youth centers in with the theme of tolerance and facing stereotypes.

When the community service program started in highschools, our Association offered programs for them since the beginning to fulfill their service at their best. Our other main target groups are the university and highschool students who are interested in international and intercultural connections. They are participating in our educational and youth projects as volunteers, interns and mentors.

Perfil: Volunteers who are interested doing voluntary work with multiple disadvantaged children and youth (especially Roma and migrant children) are welcome to participate in our projects. We don’t expect any special knowledge or skills, only to be open minded and tolerant, and capable of coping with children, and willing to discover another country, its life style and habits, its people and its way of thinking.
Age: 17-30

Tarefas: The Association has been conducting several projects in order to foster the integrated education and the social integration of multiple disadvantaged children with the help of university students, mentors and volunteers.
In our project we would like to host four volunteers for 10 months from September. The volunteers will be involved in our youth projects. The target groups of the project are young people with social disadvantages and migrant background (third-country citizens).The goal of the project is to involve the members of the target group (supported by the volunteers) in innovative activities from the planning part across implementing to evaluation, which will help their creativity and entrepreneurship.

The current projects are the following:
Mentoring Programme for Integration: programme for migrant children living in Hungary, for supporting their learning and integration in the school and community.
Ötletfa (Tree of Ideas) is an information office, community space and afternoon school to help disadvantaged (especially Roma) children and youth to usefully spend their leisure time and get involved in informal and non-formal learning.

Youth is Tolerance: The objective of the project is to establish and test comprehensive model for combating racism and anti-Roma stereotypes in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Hungary among young people aged 14-25. The volunteers are organizing workshops, performances and different programs in local schools and youth centers in with the theme of tolerance and facing stereotypes.

Many of our projects have common points and similarities, which means, that the volunteers can bring the acquired skills from one project into the others. In every project we are using different methods in informal and non-formal education and the main guidelines are tolerance and the acceptance of differences.

The volunteers, joining the project will help the staff in the everyday tasks in different ways, making the project more colorful and attractive for the target group and for all members. They will have the opportunity to use they own ideas, personal experiences and suggestions making the projects more various. The volunteers will not do routine tasks that would normally carried out by the staff, but help they work according their skills, also with ideas, suggestions and creativity. The colleges have solid knowledge in different languages, therefore the cooperation will be unhindered. The volunteers will carry out their tasks with the members of the staff, with constant supervision, help and counselling.

Volunteers will may take part in the following activities: Help and supplement the work of mentors and staff in the mentoring programme by organizing and implementing sport and outdoor activities, intercultural events (e.g. exhibition, theatre and cinema visits, film clubs) and handicraft activities.
By the time we are also encourage the volunteers to make their own mini-project, and providing help and assistance to organize and implement it.

To overcome language barriers we translation and interpretation assistance, however the majority of the activities are more or less language-independent. We encourage and help the volunteers to use the learned Hungarian phrases according to their current knowledge to improve their language skills. We also put a strong emphasis on the improvement of language and communication skills of the target group therefore we aspire to have a direct communication between them in the activities.

During the project we emphasize the importance of the documentation of their own activity and learn how to evaluate their own work with constant supervision. We also offering the opportunity to see the background of the projects, and to see the context and how they work.
The Association is an active organization in Erasmus+ Programme. One part of the tasks related to it, is the promotion of the Programme in local schools and youth centers. The opportunities to share experiences is also a way of self-reflection and a possibility to see themselves in a different context.
In the tasks of the different projects we are focusing on the development of the key competences, and through the constant evaluation we highlight how they are related to the current activities.
