In Hungary, disadvantaged children and refugees face serious challenges such as poverty, social exclusion and restricted access to education and support services. Organisations working with them operate under significant pressure and cannot rely on stable domestic funding. These conditions make targeted projects essential to maintain support for marginalised communities and respond to their needs.
Project goals
- Strengthen social cohesion and a sense of belonging among disadvantaged children and refugees
- Develop participants’ personal and social skills, including teamwork, communication, self-confidence and problem-solving, in order to support successful social integration
- Raise awareness of key values, including equality, women's empowerment and fairness
- Foster intercultural exchange and skill development
- Support participants' well-being
- Strengthen the capacity of staff and volunteers delivering sports-based educational programmes and adapt innovative methodologies to different community needs
Project content
- Organise regular football and basketball training sessions that create an inclusive environment, develop essential personal and social competencies and promote teamwork and mutual respect among participants
- Provide individualised support through mentoring, social work, job-seeking assistance and other tailored services
- Run fair play football roadshows that combine sport with awareness-raising, promoting values such as equality, non-discrimination and active citizenship
- Hold workshops on topics such as anti-racism, digital literacy, employability, women's empowerment, adolescent pregnancy prevention and financial skills
- Through the social coach training programme, pilot and develop a football-based educational methodology across different locations, adapting it to local needs and building the capacity of staff and volunteers working with marginalised groups
- Organise a summer camp to give participants an intensive learning and community-building experience that combines sport, education and personal development in an inclusive environment
