General Information
The Reformed Church provided aid to ethnic Hungarians arriving from former Jugoslavia or Romania since the collapse of the Communism, so helping asylum seekers and refugees has a long history here. In Central Europe, Hungary receives the second most asylum applications, according to UNHCR (4672 in 2009.), the majority of the refugees arrives from Serbia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Turkey.
Mission and Objectives

The main purpose of the Refugee Mission, which is part of the Reformed Mission Centre, is to provide assistance, comfort and fellowship to any asylum seeker in need regardless of nationality, race, religion or social position. Our overall vision and strategy is to assist Hungarian society in "welcoming the stranger" and accepting "newcomers" as future citizens and neighbors. We have main target themes: housing, education and employment, in these fields we seek to provide long term assistance by professional staff members.

Main Projects / Activities

Our housing project assists families by providing them with a full rent subsidy for one year and an incrementally decreasing subsidy for 6 months, helping them to leave the refugee camps, accompanied with the direct assistance of our social workers.
Those most at risk as refugees or foreigners in a new country and culture are children and women. Women are at risk for being taken advantage of and remaining isolated, unemployed. Our employment program provided refugee women with intensive Hungarian language instruction and skills training, like pre-school assistance or nurseries securing long time employment contracts for the participants. This was a one time program that we seek to repeat as the need and success rate was quite high.
The education program secures the access to education for refugee youngsters, we provide intense Hungarian language instruction, school supplies, books and tutoring to youth between the ages of 6 and 22, helping them with the successful integration into the Hungarian school system. We organize one-on-one lectures, in and after school classes, home work assistance, pre-exam preparation, lobby for accelerated learning programs as many young refugees loose so many years due to the journey and the lack of school papers. Community development is also crucial, for this purpose the mission set up cultural and sports activities, common celebrations. On staff or among our volunteers we work with people with a migration background who are an enormous support in partnering with the families of refugee youth or who can much better relate and provide practical and emotional support to unaccompanied minors as well.
In the education program we seek to empower our students with basic life skills just as advising on career development paths and basic citizenship lectures in class and during field trips. Cross-community programs are a structural part of our activities: on school holidays we organize field trips and exchanges in and outside of Hungary. In an Action 1.3 Youth Exchange program we participated with a mix of Hungarian and refugee student’s group with a very positive experience and the recognition of the need for more opportunities like these.http://misszio.rmk.hu/menekultmisszio/index.php?p=1

General Information
The SIEN Foundation (in Hungarian: SIEN Nemzetközi Diákcseréért Alapítvány) was established in 1999 with the aim of providing a financial background for the future activities of the Network. It is an independent non-governmental, non-profit organisation with its centre located in Pécs. One of the original aims of the foundation was to provide financial support for the active participation of students in international mobility projects and to promote and develop international co-operation and intercultural dialogue. The most significant long-term project of SIEN Foundation is the annual International Culture Week in Pécs (ICWiP). Active partner countries of the foundation include Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Russia and Romania, together with intensively developing links with associations in other Central European countries, such as Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Austria and the Ukraine. The foundation offers services to youth communities, such as sending volunteers for the European Voluntary Service, organising journalism and communication trainings, offering language practice opportunities, developing organisational and administrative skills and providing information on all sorts of issues of international student life.
Mission and Objectives

We are committed towards cultural diversity an international co-operation. Through our projects, we would like to contribute proactively to the development of professional and cultural knowledge of youth and support their participation in social life and working as active citizens. These events provide opportunity to center our international relationships in Pécs, and thus be involved in the circles of European networks of youth associations. Our main aim is to promote youth communities to become able to realise their initiatives and plans by this means contributing to ideas of the European integration, cultural understanding and diversity.

Main Projects / Activities

The most significant and important long term project of our Foundation is the International Culture Week in Pécs (ICWiP). Each year, nearly 300 people between the age of 18 and 35 take part representing 70 different countries from all over the world. They arrive initially from Europe, but many people come from, for example, Mexico, Lebanon, Congo, India or the United States of America and the Far East. The Culture Week is comprised of a high-standard summer school discussing highly topical youth issues, diverse intercultural activities, and an inspiring festival presenting the values of various cultures and diverse branches of arts providing opporortunity to discover, learn, exchange thoughts, and build lasting contacts. In accordance with the priorities of international organisations, the thematic topic of the confence, highlighted by the motto of the years, are dedicated to examine topics of world-wide relevance affecting thelives of young people, for examlpe the institution of democracy (2003), or the reunion of Europe by integration (2004).
