Description: The camp's main purpose is

to help the Taoist Community

in maintaining their

withdrawal place, while

getting to know eastern

philosophies and practices in

an authentic location. It is a

very unique place where

practitioners of eastern

philosophies and martial arts

can withdraw from the cities rush and focus on physical and spiritual development. It is

run by the Hungarian Taoist Community and they organize martial arts (tai chi, kung

fu)trainings and other programs there. This camp is a great opportunity for volunteers

to engage in something different and to experience alternative ways of living.

Type of Work: Since there are only two community members living there constantly there are many

things to do around the farm. The work is going to be mostly gardening, basically

helping to tidy up the farm, tasks such as reaping, planting and pruning. Other works

are: making birdnests, building fence and a new place for fire from stone and concrete,

collecting hay, weeding, planting saplings at the bank of the creek, jam making and jars

preparating. Additionally cleaning the territory of the lake of the farm. The work will not

be too heavy, but it can be tiring, so please be aware of this during your selection.

Study part: The camp provides taoist martial arts exercises for 1,5h X 5 times(tai ji/shen dao/chi

kung)for the volunteers. Besides the camp aims to introduce eastern philosophies and

practices to the volunteers. There is also a possibility to make excursions around,

discovering the natural surroundings of the farm, including an optional visit to a

Buddhist shrine and a Catholic pilgrimage place nearby to make the religious experience

more diverse. The volunteers are informed about the activity of the organisation and

the short history of the region during the camp.

Accommodation: In buildings, shared rooms.

Description: Abaj/Abov, a landscape extending on both sides of the Hungarian-Slovakian border, has two North-South rail links: the 150-year old MiskolcKoice and the 100-year old SzerencsHidasnmetiKoice lines. In general, Hungary has a rather dense network of

public transport services but there are huge differences in frequencies and quality level, in addition to problems with sustainability and a lack of integration. In rural areas part of the problem is the lack of funds and organisation in maintenance, therefore many stations look as if they had no owner or as if they had just been damaged in war. This is also due to a lack of a political vision for rural

transport and the suppression of local organisational levels within state railways MV.

Abaj region's railways are exemplary for lines poorly attended to and with a

considerable potential.

Type of Work: We will take care of unattended stops cut grass, clear weeds and shrubs, collect waste, carry out some basic repair and refurbishing work.

Study part: After work and fellowship, in the evening there will be workshop-type occupations, some of them with professional guests, on sustainable transport and integrated transport systems, partly according to the interests and wishes of participants. Possibility to participate in a survey on railway stops and better transport services.

Accommodation: Volunteers will be staying in Hidasnmeti in a house next to the banks of River Hernd.

They will prepare breakfast and sack lunch themselves and typically the main meal will be provided by the local community we work with.
