A year for you, a year for others - Call for volunteers in Hungary!

Tarnabod, Hungary

2 , Open

Project description

Tarnabod is situated 120 km from the capital, Budapest in the eastern parts of the country, easily reacheable by motorway. The village is located in a disadvantaged region of the country, where infants and underage children are the most endangered groups of society. There are a very few positive examples for the youth there to follow and imitate, however this gap could be filled by a foreign helper, showing new ways of life, introducing other cultures and lifestyles to them. With the help of our EVS volunteers we would like our youth to get familiar with the traditions of other countries, nations, peoples and draw parallel or sometimes contrast them with their own culture. You as a volunteer will help at the local kindergarten and elementary school. Our colleagues will discuss your actual tasks and schedule with you, taking into consideration your capabilities and requests. You are also encouraged to plan, launch, initiate, implement and manage your own projects.
