🏢 About the local organisation
Tizen5let Youth Association was created by 15 young people in 2008 because there was no organization dealing with problems of youngsters. Today we have 27 members who take part in the life of the organization as a voluntary base. Every year our main program is the Beach Party, where famous Hungarian DJ makes music. We also help to develop the village and keep the environment clean. We renovated fences and we organized community actions to clean the forest near Kazár. We organise every summer different handcraft programs for the local children. These programs are free of charge and the little ones like them very much. We have already participated in different international youth programs as well; we established partnerships with Finish and Slovakian organisations with whom we share the value of volunteering.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will organise and deliver interactive workshops for local children such as handcrafts, leisure activities (age 7-14), outdoor games with the support of the local young people. We give opportunity to the volunteers to fully contribute to the activities with their ideas, expertise, and experiences. The first day will be dedicated to introduction and planning. Every day we will discuss about the daily program and prepare together for the workshops. The working time will be from 8 am till 3 pm.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will sleep on bunk beds in a tourist house in 3 rooms, each with 5 bunk beds. The house has 3 bathrooms with 3 toilets and 1 common kitchen so there is an opportunity for cooking. The volunteers will get meals 3 times a day: cold breakfast, lunch package and a hot dinner. Vegetarian food is not provided, in case of a vegetarian volunteer, she/he has to arrange his/her own food (buy it in the local shop/cook it).
