🏢 About the local organisation
Egyesek Youth Association organizes this camp in collaboration with local youth clubs, located in five small villages surrounding HollEk . These youth clubs provide after-school activities for disadvantaged kids. We already established the base for the cooperation with the youth workers and social workers of these institutes through our long-term voluntary projects of the previous years.
💼 What the programme involves
In High Energy Reloaded we invite 20 international and 15-20 Hungarian, mainly local disadvantaged young people to HollEk to live and work together for 20 days. The volunteers will work in the youth clubs located in nearby villages and will organize creative and leisure activities for children. Besides the non-formal education activities, we are also planning to organize an Open Event where we invite local partners, stakeholders, children, youngsters, parents and the representative of the embassies and cultural centres of the countries of the volunteers to celebrate together the successes of the project.
