Talentum Foundation has a huge network of national volunteers who play an active role in

helping patients with various non-formal methods to increase the efficiency of medical

treatment in different departments of local hospitals. Moreover, our organization is taking part

in spreading interculturality and the spirit of EVS at local high schools. This parallel project is

divided into 2 main segments: on the one hand, volunteers will be involved in hospital

volunteering (in different hospital departments: child psychiatry, adult rehabilitation

department) activities/ games with the creative table/movement board games they created in

order to try them out with the patients. The other main segment of the project is to hold

interactive presentations about the volunteers’ culture and mother tongue in the framework of

lesson at high schools of Szeged.

Talentum Foundation’s mission is to preserve and maintain the culture, practice and value of

voluntary services, and usually organises promotional and informative events and activities to raise

awareness and to show how volunteering looks like in action. With committed and professional

people, several national and international relations, Talentum is engaged to share good practices,

cultures, provide motivating and pleasant atmosphere for any volunteers and participants who

represent the same open-mindedness. For more information please check out our
