The Volunteers

Here you can see our volunteers. Nicolas is coming in June, and Damaris in August.

Nicolas

Hi, my name is Nicolas Bossard. I’m 21 years old, and I was born in Cholet. I live in France, in Cholet with my parents and with my sister and my brother. My brother is Romain and he is 16 years old, my sister is Elodie and she is 24 years old. My mother work in school and my father is a truck driver. I have a dog, her name is Eden.

I studied French cook, and I have a diploma in French cook, waiter, and for to work with children. During 4 years I worked in different restaurants as cook, after I worked for the summer in bumping cars for children, now on the weekends I work in ice-rink. I did practice rink hockey as goal guardian, now I practice ice skating and freestyle ice skating.

I did travel in Vietnam during 2 months and Indonesia during 2 weeks.

And now I wait to go to Hungary. . .

Damaris

My name is Damaris and I’m from a small town in Germany.
After having been a student for 13 years, I want to experience new things. With my work as a volunteer I want to face the challenge of living in a foreign country. By doing this I am determined to expand my horizon and collect new experiences.
I think EVS is a great opportunity for me and I am really looking forward to live and work some months in Hungary and get to know the Hungarian culture, people and language.
I hope that the voluntary work is filled with a lot of new experiences. I desire unforgettable impressions and a memorable time which have influence on my character and show me the right ways for the future.
In the past I did voluntary work at our church. Moreover I gained a lot of experience while I absolved an internship at a kindergarten. It makes me very happy to work with children! 
So I look forward to August to meet you!

About Us

What is DARTKE?

Our association DARTKE (Dél-Alföldi Regionális Társadalomtudományi Kutatási Egyesület), founded by university professors and social-science researchers, studies the social changes and transformations in the South Great Plains Region of Hungary and beyond. Our main activities include the examination of ethnic and cultural diversity in our region. Our experts participate in studying the processes associated with strengthening civil society at the regional and national levels.

Where are we?

 

Szeged is the third largest city of Hungary, the largest city and regional centre of the Southern Great Plain and the county town of Csongrád county.
Szeged is often called the city of sunshine, for its 2100 hours sunshine/year, no wonder it is a popular tourist destination. It offers a unique experience for its inhabitants and visitors: its sights – like the Votive church, the Synagogue, the Hero's Arch, the Ferenc Móra Museum – all give a distinct character to the city, that it is safe to say: Szeged is the gem of the region.

Since more than 30 thousand students attend the University of Szeged (including many foreign students), the city is well-equipped for programmes targeting young people. Musical concerts, cinemas, parties are available practically every day, and the city also offers numberous possibilities for sporting (from the swimming, through tennis to wall climbing). Due to the high number of foreign students, many programmes are organised in different languages.

But where exactly?

The office of DARTKE is in the centre of the city. Offices, conference room, place for mentoring and community space takes place int he building. At DARTKE we have computers, internet access, printers, copy machines, equipment for handicraft, special collection of books etc. The EVS volunteers will have access to use all equpiments for their work and we will help them to learn using them in case it is needed.
