Short description

Benedek Paskuj's report summarizes findings from research conducted in collaboration with local scholars and civil society organizations to better understand public opinion toward refugees and asylum seekers, Jews, Roma, and LMBTQ+ in Hungary today. Building on a broad body of work examining rising prejudice and intergroup division in Hungary, our hope for this research was to identify actionable insights for civil society organizations and other groups addressing relevant dynamics in the country.

Short description

Last year, for more than 6 months we have been researching the infrastructures supporting university students arriving in Hungary in the framework of the ReRoot project. Through interviews, an online survey and moving into a dormitory, we produced a detailed analysis. The summary of this analysis can be read here. Special thank you to those university management members, administrative staff who allowed this work to take place.

COMPLEX INTEGRATION SUPPORT FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS AND REFUGEES IN HUNGARY

Menedék provides complex social work with the tools of individual- and group counselling, supporting beneficiaries of international protection and third country nationals in their social inclusion and finding their way in day-to-day life. There are three pillars in  the project: inclusion, child protection and educational integration, and community mobilization.

Community activities mitigating social isolation of beneficiaries of international protection

Within the framework of the project financed by the Julia Taft Refugee Fund Menedék Association aims to organise a series of interlinked community events and activities through which refugees, vulnerable members of migrant communities as well as members of the host society can meet, interact, and strengthen their common sense of belonging through building social networks.

SAFEmployment Hungary

Within the framework of the SAFEmployment Hungary Project, we want to fight the labour exploitation of people fleeing Ukraine and help its victims. Our goal is to contribute to the fair and legal employment of refugees from Ukraine in Hungary, and thereby support their integration.
