About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Even though our municipality has only 320 inhabitants, we can boast of many innovative and creative developments. Do you know any other village with a planetarium, Boeing simulator, 3D cinema, salt room, Orgon room, lookout, tree house, astronomy terrace, oven buffet, forest gym, nature trails, herb garden, Kneipp trail and aromatherapy trampler, canoeing, boating, local money, municipal app, numerous public sculptures, well-maintained parks, municipal orchards, home for the elderly, outdoor fitness park, and 12 NGOs? Although we are small, we care about our community and our environment. We take care of both. We try to preserve the beauty, the richness and the purity of the landscape. However, caring for, maintaining, promoting and marketing our tourist attractions and public spaces is a lot of exciting and interesting work. We would like to involve volunteers in this activity.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Group accommodation in our Student Hostel, in 2 rooms with bunk beds. Lunch is provided in the dining room of the Home for the Elderly. We provide 5 euros per person for breakfast and lunch (in addition to pocket money). With this amount, everyone can prepare their own meals, but we also offer the possibility to buy and cook together. There is a shop, a pub and a tobacconist in the village. You can also buy pizza and burgers from our oven buffet. A bigger shop, a confectioner's and a pharmacy can be found in Mágocs, 7 km away. Supermarkets are available in Dombóvár, 20 km away.

🎒 Leisure activities

Participants will do DIY, landscaping, painting, and will learn skills that they can use in their own lives, in the maintenance of their own environment. All these activities are done in teams, so it will be important to learn how to work together. We also count on our volunteers to take part in municipal marketing, where they will gain skills in online marketing. They will also learn many skills that can be used in everyday life by cooking together, keeping the accommodation tidy and organising leisure and cultural activities.

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).
