Summer camp at Kaposvár
Egyesek Ifjúsági Egyesület
Kaposvár, Hungary
Description
Napkerék Egyesület is a Hungarian non-profit organisation founded in 2003 and based in Kaposvár, dedicated to promoting social inclusion, equal opportunities, and intercultural dialogue. With a strong focus on supporting Roma communities and other disadvantaged groups, the organisation creates safe, empowering spaces where diversity is valued, and individual potential can flourish through community engagement and inclusive initiatives. After an onboarding this workcamp will be divided into two exciting stages: the first week in Kaposvár, followed by a second week at Lake Balaton, where the children will enjoy a summer experience by Hungary’s most iconic lake. As a volunteer, you will take part in dynamic, hands-on activities that celebrate cultural exchange and global diversity. Share your country’s songs, dances, games, traditions, and even cuisine, while supporting the children’s English language development in a fun and interactive way.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
All volunteers will be accommodated in shared rooms in a fully equipped accommodation. Cold food will be provided for breakfast, and hot meals for lunch and dinner. Volunteers will need to co-prepare the food using the ingredients provided by the organization. Vegetarian, gluten and lactose-free options will be available. Each volunteer will also receive €7 per day as pocket money. Travel costs to the project location will be reimbursed based on the distance traveled after participation. All necessary equipment for the tasks will be provided.
Training during the activity
From Friday till Sunday an orientation training (movement, sports and games and facilitation skills) will be provided by an experienced Egyesek staff member.
