Resumo: The project will mostly take place in Budapest.

The volunteer s will work with our association and with other NGOs and schools which are alllocated in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The main places of the project are 5 high-school s in Budapest where we run a freetime programme for the students which is focused on volunteering
activities and community development.

The volunteer s will also live in Budapest. Budapest has 2 million inhabitants, it is the economical and cultural centre of the country, with plenty, and always growing opportunities. 5 big universities are located in the city, so there are a lot of young people, too. The transportation within the city is excellent and it is also the main junction of the national bus and train lines.

There is an option for the volunteers to carry out activities in our trainings and youth exchanges which we organise mostly in the summer period, from May to September. These projects take place in Hollóký.

Perfil: Profile of the volunteers: has experience in youth work, or planning to be engaged in it after going home; at least 22 years old (it is important because they will be in a teacher’s role in a lot of cases and the oldest students of the high schools are 19 years old). Any volunteer is welcome with difficulties or with less opportunity background if he/she fulfils the above mentioned conditions, we have experience in providing reinforced mentorship

Tarefas: We have some on-going or planned regular activities where we will include the volunteer: Since 2006 we collaborate with a high school where teaching is carried out mostly in English. We run a programme called KEKSZ, within this programme the students practice a lot of skills with the method of non-formal education (volunteer work, sport and theatre activities). Here the volunteers will join our team and first help in organising the various regular volunteering, sport and cultural programmes and evaluation classes. Later on he/she can do it alone if he/she is willing to. This activity will take 10-15 hours per week.
The volunteer will choose between two options for the rest of the time: he/she can develop an own project with the members of Egyesek, or he/she can join an already existing one; or she/he can provide more intercultural learning opportunities in the high school – within the framework of afternoon classes, language
classes and camps. Starting from the school year 2010/2011 we start KEKSZ projects in other 4 high schools in Budapest, therefore we will host 2 volunteers in each high school which chooses this option.

Formação: Since we are an organisation mainly focusing on personal development projects what we can offer is support for the volunteer in designing his/her own personal development goals and learning plan (e.g. what professional and personal skills, competences he/she wants to acquire or develop, what
she/he wants to know about youth work, fundraising, running an NGO etc.), and later on the tutor and the mentor would support him/her to find the best ways how to achieve the goals. We also give trainings on the topic and the volunteer will be more than welcome to join the trainings both as participant and team member.
Our goal with EVS is to give an opportunity for the young volunteers to see more clearly what they want to do in life trough the method of “learning by doing” and while this to be able to help others as well. This means that we will give support in defining what these goals mean exactly for each volunteer and how he/she wants to achieve them.
With this we would like to inspire the volunteer to take responsibility of his/her own life, to understand that he/she can realise a lot if she/he is determinant and has enough help from the experienced Hungarian volunteers of our association. This is the way how all of the volunteers work in our association, and in past 13 years it is prooved to be a really powerful and succesful method.
