📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Our organization’s main goal is to enrich the lives of people by using innovative methods related with filmmaking (which includes planning, synthesizing topics, shooting and cutting the film, and planning the ways of presentation). Filmmaking is a complex process and involves many stages starting with an initial idea or story which follows a screenwriting, pre-production, shooting, sound-production and screening and could end with an exhibition. Filmmaking is a great way of developing our ideas, synthesizing ideas, team work, presenting a topic and ourselves in the same time, overall we can say it is a great way for self development and to present societal challenges in an effective way.
We are teaching on one hand how to do filmmaking from the technical and artistic perspective and on the other hand giving the opportunity for people to practice it in real life. Our main target group are young people but we are open for the older generation as well. Experienced members of our association have been active in local youth organizations in recent years and gathered experience. Then we started working together and organizing smaller local events in the last few years. We organized small film clubs and training courses for high school students and young people, where they could learn the basics of photography and videography, and design. With our experienced psychologist, we also organized several self-knowledge and career orientation workshops for young graduates.
💼 What the programme involves
Based in Odorheiu Secuiesc, Romania, Asociația Filmelor Maghiare din Transilvania invites volunteers to join its creative and impactful youth projects that blend environmental awareness, education, and digital storytelling.
Our association runs initiatives that explore ecological issues, promote media literacy, and empower young people to speak up through film.
You’ll take part in organizing filmmaking workshops, help deliver interactive English language sessions, and assist with designing social media campaigns and digital content that inspire action. Whether it’s preparing video materials on sustainability or mentoring local youth in creative expression, your contribution will matter.
This is more than a volunteering placement—it’s your chance to be part of a mission-driven team working at the intersection of culture, education, and activism. Bring your creativity, passion, and curiosity, and help shape the stories that shape our future.
