Community development in Gemer region

Activity description

As most of the project activities take place in the region of Rimavská Sobota, where a significant part of the local community in addition to the majority of the nation are also members of the Hungarian and Roma community, by implementing activities we contribute to the priority of preserving cultural diversity. The city is in South Slovakia, 30km away from Hungarian border. The region struggling many years with the highest rate of unemployment in the country (over 30%), and faces with serious economic and social challenges. These bad social and economic conditions cause strong migration of young people to the Western Europe. Our organisation decided to give local young people positive examples and opportunity to meet other young people from Europe. These circumstances made a need for positive examples, sharing best practice and innovative methods in regional, youth community development and cultural exchange.
