DURING THE 80% OF WORK TIME VOLUNTEERS WILL BE DIVIDED IN GROUPS AND WORK
IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LOCATIONS THEY CHOOSE. 20% OF THEIR TIME THEY DEDICATE TO
THE HOUSEHOLD AND WORK AROUND THE HOUSE OF THE FAMILY THEY LIVE IN, WHICH
WILL HELP TO INTEGRATE INTO THE LIFE OF LOCAL COMMUNITY, TO UNDERSTAND LOCAL
TRADITIONS AND CULTURE.
YOU ARE GOING TO PLAN, PREPARE, REALIZE, EVALUATE ENGLISH SPEAKING ACTIONBASED CREATIVE WORKSHOPS IN ONE OF 2 VILLAGES WHERE OUR LOCAL PARTNERS
RUN YOUTH CENTERS FOR LOCAL YOUNGSTERS (NAGYLC OR ENDREFALVA).
THE AFTERSCHOOL YOUTH CENTERS ARE OPEN IN THE VILLAGES IN ORDER
TO PROVIDE CHILDREN WITH DIFFERENT KINDS OF LEISURE ACTIVITIES AS
WELL AS HELP IN DOING HOME WORKS, ETC.
THE VOLUNTEERS WILL ALSO HAVE HUNGARIAN COURSES TO GET TO KNOW BASIC
WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IN PUBLIC
PLACES.
IN CREATIVE SPACE, WHERE OUR LOCAL PARTNER IS RUNNING A COMMUNITY BUILDING,
THEY WILL HELP IN CLEANING AND KEEPING EYE ON THE SURROUNDING, THEY MIGHT
ALSO JOIN AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS PLANTING SEEDLINGS AND TREES, DOING
GARDENING, BUILDING GREENHOUSES DURING SPRING OR SUMMER.
