About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

This 2 weeks volunteering program, supported by the Visegrad Fund, is about renovating an old house for the purpose of the soon-to-be-open Egyesek youth centre in the town and mobilising and activating youth in the micro-region. As volunteers, we invite you to partly support the renovation work of the house (light work, e.g. plaster boarding, tiling, painting, etc., but no specific experience is required for this work) and partly to plan a diverse set of activities, including the facilitation of workshops and visits to local schools and other youth centres, with the aim to outreach and engage many youngsters around.

🏠 Accommodation on site

As a volunteer, you will sleep in shared rooms or dormitories in Szécsény and you will be in charge of cleaning. Cold food will be provided for breakfast and lunch, and there will be hot meals for dinner after work cooked by the home team or ordered from nearby restaurants. Vegetarian, gluten and lactose-free options will be available. Do not forget to bring some traditional/typical food, drinks, recipes, music, games or movies from your country for the intercultural evening.

🎒 Leisure activities

Szécsény is a small town in Nógrád county, located in Northern Hungary, near the Slovakian border. The recorded population of the town is around 5937 inhabitants. Szécsény has grocery stores, ATMs, a bank, local restaurants, pubs, a pharmacy, a bakery, second-hand shops, a post office, and a bus station. From the local bus station, volunteers can reach nearby bigger towns (Balassagyarmat and Salgótarján) within 30 minutes, and Budapest within 2 hours. Further on the weekend in-between the camp (8-9th Feb) will be free to travel to Budapest or other cities.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: The Visegrad Fund finances the project. You will get a travel reimbursement, accommodation and food will be provided, as well as a health insurance. There will be no pocket money, like in ESC volunteering. Travel reimbursement limits are based on the Eramsus+ distance calculator. Please fill out this additional short application form as well: https://form.jotform.com/egyesek/application_v4youthforszecseny Egyesek Youth Association is a community of active youth and young professionals. We contribute to creating communities based on solidarity, where people are aware of their own freedom of choice, they do what they love and connect with each other peacefully. Our activities are based in Nógrád-county, a socially and economically disadvantaged part of Hungary, where young people have very few opportunities to meet their peers from other European countries, engage in multicultural and non-formal learning, or take part in creative activities during their free time.
Deadline: 01/02/2025 01:00

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).
