About the Workcamp

Egyesek Youth Association organizes this volunteer program together with

Élmény Tár Tanoda⁠

, where the participants work together with kids coming from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The community space of Élmény Tár Association is operating in one of the poor neighbourhoods in the city of Pecs, Hungary, where the rate of unemployment is especially high, and the people living there usually drop out of the school system before finishing. The lack of school success is the cause of deprived socio-cultural background and poverty. The families living here cannot afford any service that is helping their children improve in school, not to mention the lack of possibilities for free-time and leisure activities.

Therefore the main aim of the association is to create opportunities for these disadvantaged children. They aim to promote social mobility, give an opportunity to share experiences or create new ones together, and to see the world from a different point of view. The House of Solidarity camp helps to reach these aims by bringing local youth together with youngsters from all over the world, providing a chance to broaden their perspective, become more open to the world outside their own community, to learn about acceptance and cooperation.

What to expect?

Volunteers will have a chance to understand the civil sector in Hungary and the social reality of people living in poverty, not only as spectators but as active participants working towards social change. The program will consist of team-building activities, creative and multicultural workshops delivered to and by the volunteers with local young people, interactive programs to get to know the area together, and some renovation work on a community house. Campfire, common music and board games are indispensable to the program.
