Description of the project: The Cultural Contact is a good opportunity for beginners and professionals in the field of media production. The goal of the project is to involve volunteers coming to Hungary to join media activities for 12 months and take part in more and more activities.
One important aspect of the project is to show these volunteers how they can use different tools. At the end of the project, we would like them to be able to create a video, an interview, a blog and use the possibilities of the internet by themselves. Our aim is to give the opportunity to our volunteers to gain knowledge about youth programs of the European Union and the possibility to have effective free time activities and share it to local youngsters on different kind of channels and media.
Our goal is to give the experiences of seeing how these activities organised and achieved in Hungary.
Description of the project: Through the volunteers, we would like to show that only because someone comes from different cultures or speaks different language still can be a valuable and exciting member of the society and the experience can be valuable for the local community. We believe that in this way we can motivate the Hungarian youngsters to spend more time of their spare time with the volunteer help. The knowledge of the volunteers and the materials what they prepared we can use to encourage the youngsters to take an active role and spend their free time effectively.
Through the volunteers, youngsters living in Hungary will have a chance to meet and get to know new cultures which will make them more open.
