First-Hand about Homelessness
Workshop for High School Students
Blinken OSA Archivum is organizing a conference at the end of September to mark the arrival of the archives of sociologist István Kemény, whose groundbreaking research on poverty influenced many generations in his field since the 1970s. The event will include a workshop for high school students on poverty, exclusion, and solidarity.
During the workshop, activists from The City IS for All and Fedél Nélkül (The Hungarian Streetpaper) will give an insight into the challenges of being homeless and talk about their dedicated work for an equal and just society. During the session, students will watch a short film on the topic and learn about the difficulties of becoming homeless through personal testimonies. Finally, they will experience the daily challenges of being homeless through an interactive situational game. The aim of the workshop is to raise awareness of the complex social aspects of homelessness and to showcase opportunities for social solidarity.
The sessions will be led by Gyula Balog, coordinator of the program “First-Hand about Homelessness”
With the participation of Mária Erdős and activist Adrienn Szigeti
