Description

One of the main problems of civic organisations in Végegyháza is to find a place for their programs. The community centre cannot provide a regular place for the civic and self-organising communities. The local government cannot take the financial and professional responsibilities to maintain the Civic House. The solution of the situation seems to be the collaboration of the civic organizations. The civic organizations of the village set up the Civic House Union, where programs and the courses about maintenance are going to take place. They are planning to provide new services in this new institution, too. The Union plans to maintain the Centre following an annual plan, made and authorized by the Civic Council, coordinated by the Barangoló Org. The maintenance season is one-year period. This program provides the opportunity to set an example for small settlements, as it shows the power of citizens to develop their living place. The main target group is the full population of Végegyháza.

Summary of project results

One of the main problems of NGOs in Végegyháza is to find a place for their programs. The community centre cannot provide a regular place for them. The NGOs of the village established the Civilians House together, where their programs have been taking place. The place can satisfy a wide variety of demands. The project provided an opportunity to create a program that can show the power of citizens and help the development of their community. It set an example of a strong community that is able to improve. On every meeting of the Community Council the project implementor helped and contacted the participating organisations and did the pr work (online/television ads, posters etc.). The project successfully reached the people who became active participants of the events. The transformation led to the reduction of the running costs of the Civilian House that has based the progressive maintenance. The financial base will be covered by competitions. Next year manpower will be provided by community service . The Civilian Council will provide the professional background.
