Description
The number of homeless people in Hungary is very high. Unfortunately, politics don’t support the solution of the problem with appropriate tools. Society is characterized by estrangement, most of the people are not sensitive to their fellows’ problems. Our long term goal is strengthen social acceptance, reduce the negative attitude against homeless people, make society more sensitive to problems. Our specific goal is to raise awareness to the criminalization of homeless people with peaceful actions. We are going to start a campaign through the online media. We will show homeless and ordinary people and set parallels of the stereotypes which are typical for a different social groups. Most important is to change attitudes; we want to show a way to pay attention to each other, to behave more emphatically in order to make this world more liveable together. We manage to reach the mainstream society through the media so the negative attitude decreased, people donate more and the social responsibility increased. We reach thousands of people through the internet campaigns. This will benefit the mainstream society, young adults and decision makers.
