Due to the broad network of HETFA within and beyond the borders of Hungary with local and regional government, our colleagues are frequently involved in the preparation and implementation of various EU funded projects focusing on young people, their active participation in their community life as well as facilitating the dialogue between the youth and decision-makers. HETFA provides consultancy not only in the preparation of the project and the formulation of the partnership, but once the projects are approved, we are deeply involved in the implementation. We carry out professional tasks such as surveys, analyses and also moderating and facilitating the events. We plan and hold the workshops fully in line with the requirements of the European funded projects based on interactive, non-formal educational methods.
