ARTEMISSZIO FOUNDATION

Profile:
The foundation was established in 1998 for the improvement of intercultural relationships, and for supporting the social integration of the underprivileged. The founders are young anthropologists, who search the possibilities for joining scientific research and social activities. The foundation's objectives are to foster and build cultural, scientific, and personal partnerships between Hungary and other European countries, and to promote equal opportunities for groups in a disadvantageous social position within Hungary.

Activities:
Among the activities of the foundation, there are trainings, compilation of training materials, execution of research projects, encouragement of mobility in Europe, field-work, organisation of events. Artemisszio has been participating, for years, in the training of volunteers and employees in cooperation with the Handicap International Centre in France. A cooperative Central and Eastern European project dealing with immigrants and asylum seekers is currently under preparation. The foundation aims to expand its partnership network outside Europe, and would be willing to participate in the preparation of those volunteers and employees, who travel abroad along with humanitarian and development organisations; as well as to organise programs aiming at raising public awareness.
