📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Our mission at Bagázs is to create equal chances for segregated Roma so that they can achieve their goals regardless their personal circumstances.
Our long-term project is based in Roma settlements in two smaller Hungarian towns, Bag and Dány, where we organize after school activities for local children and youngsters. Volunteers will actively participate in the life of local communities, hold English-speaking group activities together with our experienced volunteers and plan team building workshops. Your tasks will include organizing and animating afternoon clubs, craft and sport days, weekly visits in the local schools and many other thematically planned activities that focus on community development and disadvantage compensation.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Our ESC volunteers will be accommodated in a shared apartment in a town close to the settlements where their activities are going to take place. They get monthly pocket money and food allowance.
The travel costs to Hungary and back to their home country will be refunded based on the distance band limits imposed by the European Commission. Local transportation will be covered with monthly bus tickets.
🎒 Leisure activities
- The participants are going to be involved in the organization’s own trainings for the different activities and get support from the activity coordinator and mentors.
- On-Arrival Training and Mid-Term Evaluation are held by the Hungarian National Agency.
- Weekly online language training
- We are also planning regular team buildings
