The aim of the “Together for Stronger Volunteering” project is to strengthen the role of volunteering in the school education system and to develop cooperation between schools, students and civil society organisations. The initiative seeks to increase young people’s participation in volunteering activities, while providing methodological and professional support to teachers and to the organisations that host volunteers.
Within the project, we pay particular attention to the current challenges of volunteering, especially the low participation rate of students and the gaps in communication and cooperation between schools and host organisations. To address these, we carry out research and develop training programmes and innovative methodological materials that support more effective, higher-quality volunteering.
The project is implemented in a partnership between Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. Its aim is to build a sustainable system of cooperation that supports the development of volunteering in the long term and promotes the exchange of experience and good practices at international level.

A flagship initiative of NIT a Fiatalokért Nonprofit Kft. is the Digital Awareness and Youth Protection Education Centre (DIOK), which uses research, training and awareness-raising programmes to help children and young people be present online safely, responsibly and consciously.
The organisation’s work is founded on the belief that young people are not only the future but also active shapers of the present. Through its activities, it therefore contributes to a social environment that supports young people’s development, community engagement and active participation in society.
