Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The volunteers will be accommodated in rented houses and rooms provided by the host organisation in Kállósemjén. Volunteers will stay in single or double rooms. The accommodation facilities include a shared kitchen, bathroom, garden and free Wi-Fi. Depending on the assigned accommodation, the bathroom will be shared by several volunteers and can be locked to ensure privacy.

Volunteers will receive a daily allowance of EUR 15, covering both food allowance and pocket money. The allowance will be paid in cash. As the accommodation facilities have equipped kitchens, volunteers will be able to prepare their own meals.

Travel costs will be covered from the European Solidarity Corps project budget in accordance with the applicable distance band. Volunteers arriving at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport will travel to Kállósemjén by public transport. The host organisation will provide detailed travel instructions and assistance with planning the journey. Visa-related costs, where applicable, will also be covered by the project budget.

Training during the activity

The volunteers will develop their skills mainly through practical, non-formal learning during their daily activities. They will gain experience in working with disadvantaged children and in planning and organising sports activities, handicrafts, board games, cooking workshops, cultural events, environmental activities, excursions and bicycle tours. This practice-based learning will help them improve their teamwork, communication, creativity, intercultural competence and activity-management skills.
