Culture and language diversity in Hungary

Project description

The Alliance Française de Pécs is a Hungarian organization which was created in 1991. For 20 years, our organization has been involved in numerous local and regional cultural events and projects, relating to language diversity and especially to French. The Alliance Française de Pécs is part of the international network of the Alliances Françaises. The volunteer will take part in different types of activities: - Creating communication supports (posters, flyers...) - Participating in the organization of cultural events, such as: the international festival of theater, the month of “Francophonie”... - Welcoming members and students - Organizing activities at the Alliance Française for its members (quizz, board games, Children’s Afternoons, children’s summer camp, French conversation workshops, cine club...) - Maintaining and improving the self-learning space - Organizing workshops (schools, high-school, university)

Volunteer profile

The Alliance Française is looking for motivated young persons willing to discover another country, its lifestyle and habits, its people and way of thinking. Being in the European Union, the volunteer is expected to show tolerance and curiosity towards differences. We have favored in our selection process persons who showed desire to learn from others and who accept to be surprised. No previous qualifications were expected, apart from motivation and good understanding of the aims and principles of the EVS, as a mutually enriching experience both for the hosting organization and the volunteer.
