Study visit Gánt, Hungary 

October 11-17. 2014.

Our mobility programme lasted for five days, with 5 participating countries (Czech, French, Latvian, Spanish and our Hungarian team) and a total of 14 foreign particpants.

There were plenty of professional and free time activities, so the participants not only could have learned a lot about Hungarian circumstances and best practices, but they also had enough time to relax and bond.

The focus was on the employment options of people with disabilities, so we presented the governmental procedures and benefits, we showed our job service website, and we also visited a company that has a mission to help these people the best it can.

We can say that the mobility was finished with great success, the participants gained a lot of experience and new relationships.

The French partners also created a short film that nicely shows the week and the atmosphere:
