Festival working group to promote volunteering
The program takes place in Csongrád county mainly in the city of Szeged, but in the county’s other settlements as well. The volunteer team visits the bigger festivals or events organized in the county.
The overall aim of the program is to promote volunteering at high-visibility festivals and other big events.
1) The (recruited) volunteers participate in a training program where they get all the important information about volunteering. After that the Foundation enters into contract with the volunteers then the coordinator provided by the Foundation prepares the annual festival calendar with all the events where it is worthwhile to show up and do promotion. Volunteers may freely apply to certain festivals according to their interests and free time. After that the volunteers work together in small groups and decide the image of the information stand, the marketing materials and possible games/activities for the chosen festival. After each festival the coordinators organize a meeting where together with the volunteers they evaluate the promotion on the festival, which method turned out to be the most appropriate and what other new ideas can be collected.
Activities: promote volunteering on festivals and other big events, coordination of voluntary activities and games, information stand
Beneficiaries: citizens participating in the festival, who are interested in volunteering and become acquainted with the idea of volunteering.
For the first time the program was funded by the European Union connected to the project: European Year of Volunteering and Promotion of volunteering in Csongrád county. Now the organisation covers the festival working group’s financial expenses from its own sources.
