In 2022-2023, the Aspect Group implemented an EU-funded training andinternship programme for young people aged 18 to 25 who want to dosomething for the community in Szeged, Debrecen, Miskolc and Pécs. Theselected candidates participated in 120 hours long training process, gainedvaluable experience based knowledge and strengthened their network ofcontacts. At the end of the training period, participants could apply for a 6-month paid internship to implement their own project.
Our approach aimed to reduce social prejudice and systemic discriminationagainst Roma and people living in poverty. The process has empowered agile,committed young people who want to do something for the community toimplement their own initiatives in education, advocacy, social affairs,fundraising, community empowerment and other important issues.

FACILITATOR’S GUIDE
The role of the facilitator is very important in ensuring an effective andsuccessful learning process. Through his/her work, participants will understandthe material more easily and they can also actively participate in groupactivities, leading to a deeper learning.
For most of the exercises, both English and Hungarian literature is available,although for some exercises the given task includes information about asituation, which is specific to Hungary. The methodology of these exercises canbe adapted, but the content available depends on the locality. It isrecommended that the facilitator should consider the adaptability of theexercises and provide locally relevant content for the planned trainingparticipants.
