INTER(national)CITY

The People Team Foundation has been organising camps for children and young people since 1991. Approximately 1000 x 7-17 year olds take part in our camps every summer.
The growing number of participants every year (a vast number of returning campers amongst them) is testimony to the success of our programmes. During the years the organisational and working schedule has been worked out, a „timetable”, a permanent, but constantly widening organisational group (organisers, directors, teachers, animators, other professional groups), who claims the foundation’s aims as their own, who strive to achieve the successful realisation of the camps and who, with their high-level qualifications and adequate experience insure that appropriate professional standards are maintained. Taking the camps’ thematics, as well as the participants’ needs, interests and feedback into due consideration, we plan and expand year after year.

Our camp is located in the fully equipped GAMF dormitory in Kecskemét, Hungary (http://kecskemet.hu/?r=3&l=en). 2x2 bed living quarters, with bathrooms, await participants. The infrastructure of the camp location also aids the success of the project: we work with state-of-the-art computers, video-cameras and cameras. Our volunteers can only become members of the team after a rigorous, multi-stage entrance exam. Intermediate level knowledge of English and at least one other foreign language is a basic prerequisite. More info: www.peopleteam.hu/english

Aim of the project
• to assist the youth to get to know themselves better and
• to make them learn about the world with the help of drama pedagogy and other artistic means;
• to convince them that although their opinion and point of view is highly important, they also need to accept the diversity of the world, because that's what makes it so colourful
• to assist the youth to get to know themselves and the others better and
• improving their communication skills

During the two-week program, the participants will create a democracy with their own money, their superiors, their rules. Everyone will choose a job and place in the state. The participants will be working in (mixed nationality) groups.
Every day will start with role-plays, different brainstorming activities and discussions to help the participants tune up for the day's topic.
