Volunticipate - opportunity for students to go to Hungary

In 2011 the Lake Bánk festival (www.tekerajotra.hu/en ) is organized by MAROM Budapest for the third time in Hungary with the participation of NGOs active on the field of Jewish and Roma issues, presenting good initiatives in community building, as well as, providing cultural programs related to minority experience. This year, through the Volunticipate network we will add a European perspective to the event - and we invite you to be part of it!

Within the frame of the Volunticipate project 30 youth workers, volunteers from London, Stockholm, Valencia, Barcelona, Ljubljana, Paris, Praha, Bucharest, Bratislava, Budapest and Berlin will meet, work and learn together for one week in a stimulating environment, with the help of professional trainers.
