About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Piece of My Heart 8.0 is an ESC volunteering project of Association Co-Efficient in Budapest. It is based in the EKH Community House, an inclusive and accessible space where young people with and without disabilities can meet, learn and participate together. Volunteers help organise local clubs, workshops, school activities, youth exchanges and community events. They also support young people with disabilities through personal assistance, accompaniment, mobility support and inclusive social activities. The project exists because many young people still face social, physical and communication barriers that limit their participation in community life. By using non-formal education, solidarity and everyday cooperation, the project creates safer, more welcoming spaces and helps build a society that adapts to diverse needs instead of excluding people.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Accommodation is provided in a rented apartment close to the Community House. Volunteers have their own sleeping space, and the kitchen and bathroom are equipped. Food allowance and pocket money are transferred monthly. Volunteers receive a Budapest public transport pass, which is reimbursed. International travel costs are reimbursed according to the Erasmus+ distance calculator.

🎒 Leisure activities

During the opportunity, volunteers receive continuous learning support. They take part in a one-week in-house training at the beginning, extra training days during the project, and practical preparation on working with people with disabilities. They also receive one-on-one mentoring twice a month, 20 hours of Hungarian lessons, and training organised by the National Agency.

⚠️ Requirements

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
