Campaign organized to help Ukrainian refugees
External practice
Duration
March 2022 - current
Partnership
Civil Public Education Platform (CKP), Migration Aid, EDUA
Reason it was developed
Quick help was needed for the Ukrainian refugees who appeared, and the Hungarian state has not given them any serious support.
Activities
We wrote a letter to all members asking them to support Migration Aid, if they have the opportunity, let them know if they can provide accommodation, take in families, interpret at the train station. The PDSZ is a member of the CKP, in which we have members who actively participate in the educational materials and teaching programs developed by civilians, one of them is the contact person of the EDUA, the PDSZ offered to provide a location for a summer camp at the Danube. We asked the Hungarian government to use the wages deducted during the teachers' strike in Hungary for charitable purposes! Supported in this way, e.g. municipalities and organizations assisting in the care of refugees.
Results
Several of our colleagues participated in interpreting and providing temporary accommodation. One of our members is the main organizer and contact person for Edua. With the help of the civilians, curriculum development and afternoon sessions were organized.
Funding
The assistance was provided with the financing of civilians.
