About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Élmény Tár Tanoda supports children from disadvantaged backgrounds by broadening their horizons and raising awareness of opportunities in Pécs. Its international summer camp brings together local youth and volunteers from around the world to promote openness, acceptance, and cooperation. Volunteers will gain first-hand insight into Hungary's civil sector and the social realities of people living in poverty, not as observers, but as active participants working toward social change. The program includes team-building activities; creative, multicultural workshops co-created by volunteers and local young people; interactive programs to explore the area together; and hands-on renovation work at a community house. Evenings will be filled with campfires, shared music, and board games, essential moments for connection and reflection. You will play a key role in boosting the children’s self-confidence, building trust, and bringing joy into their lives.

🏠 Accommodation on site

All volunteers will be accommodated in tents or in the organisation's house on mattresses. Multiple toilets and showers are indoors. Camp leaders and volunteers will prioritize a responsible, local, and balanced diet. The host will provide three meals a day (hot meals for lunch and dinner), with the team rotating to cook, supported by local camp leaders and youth workers.

🎒 Leisure activities

From Friday till Sunday an orientation training (movement, sports and games and facilitation skills) will be provided by an experienced Egyesek staff member. This will be followed by mentoring sessions to support the learning and professional development of you. In the institution school staff will provide further support if required.

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).
