About Egyesek

Egyesek Youth Association is a well-established and accredited NGO. Our mission revolves around fostering personal growth, promoting cultural exchange, and empowering communities through impactful European Solidarity Corps Volunteering and Erasmus+ youth exchanges and training programs. With a focus on youth development and cross-cultural engagement, we have been creating meaningful experiences for our volunteers and participants, enabling them to become aware of their own freedom of choice, pursue their passions, and establish peaceful connections with each other.

About the Photography Volunteering:

Main activities of Egyesek usually take place in Hollókő or Szécsény, where the photography volunteering would ideally take place. In Hollókő, the main Erasmus+ youth exchanges and training sessions are held at

Kreatív Tér⁠

- where you can join for photograph work either on a weekday or a weekend if a session is currently being held. If you wish, you could as well accommodate there where the other participants are also accommodating.

Nógrád⁠

, you can join on weekdays as there are no activities taking place on weekends. The activities in the Szécsény region usually involve visiting different schools or youth centers, therefore, you will be visiting these venues with the team of youth workers and international volunteers.

These activities involve many different aspects that need proper recording and documentation. These pictures make the volunteer work to be more visible and accessible to youth and brings accountability and transparency into our projects.

Why Join Us?

When you become a volunteer photographer with Egyesek, you are not just capturing images – you are an integral part of our journey. You will not only enhance your photography skills, but you will also fulfil yourself with international experiences and cultural diversity brought by it!
