About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

: The Mikszath Kalman Lyceum in Paszto has been working with international (mostly francophone) partners for over 30 years. Exchanges between students and teachers happen several times a year. The school has a boarding school and several departments offering a range of graduation options, one of which is French language studies. In order to serve the community where the school is firmly founded and to open up its doors to a less obvious public, the school decided to organise a workcamp. It will be the first time during a holiday period, but both the students and teachers are confident about the upcoming success given their extensive experience with jumelage and the support from other institutional partners such as the city government and local leaders.

💼 What the programme involves

We are going to organize action-based learning sessions for less-opportunity rural kids. The first three days will be preparation and teambuilding. During the 8 weekdays after that the volunteers will spend half of the days preparing and the other half playing with the children aged between 6-14 with the support of youth workers from Egyesek. We will also give workshops for the volunteers in order to enable them to use different tools and develop in occupying active kids.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will sleep, eat and work in the boarding school of the Miksath Kalman Lyceum surrounded by the beautiful nature. There are 9 two-person bedrooms with bathroom and over 50 four-person-bedrooms with bathrooms and showers in the hallway. In the building there are a few small kitchens with microwaves and fridges near the bedrooms, a professional kitchen where school staff will prepare the food, a dining room, a common social area for hanging out and board games, a TV room with the EURO 2016 football quarter finals and semi-finals on for those who are interested and the laundry room. Access to the washing machine, wireless internet, 3 meals, additional snacks and sport equipment are provided. Cooking will be done by professional chefs. Those who indicated their special diet in the application form will get proper food according to their diet.

📍 About the location

The camp takes place in North-East Hungary, in a small town called Paszto, located 80 kilometres from the capital, Budapest. The beautiful nature offers a lot of leisure time activities such as hiking, cycling and other sports. There are a lot of small museums in the surroundings as well, in towns like Eger and Hollok337;.
