The goal of the “Volunticipate” project is to build partner relationships between Roma and Jewish youth organizations, to enable the exchange of experience and knowledge of the leaders of these organizations and to facilitate their international co-operation.
The central element of the project is an international meeting between 1-7th August, in Bánk, Hungary with the participation of Roma and Jewish volunteers and youth workers from across Europe. During the one-week meeting our aim is to build partnerships, to get to know each other’s work, with special regard to the role of volunteer work within community building and organizational development. During the meeting the participants are provided with professional help and training to plan future common projects, events.
The Volunticipate project will happen adjacent in time and place to the big-scale volunteer event of Marom Budapest: the Bánkitó festival, so that participants of the Volunticipate project can familiarize hands-on with a successful youth volunteer project, as well as to get to know other youth and civic initiatives, and to introduce their organization to a large amount of people, as well as to participate actively on the programs of the festival.
