Partners Hungary Foundation builds connections between people and communities since 1994. Our vision is a colourful and inclusive society, where cooperation and dialogue between the individuals, within the communities and between the communities are working.
How do we work?
Through mediation and restorative practices, we support individuals and communities to have effective tools to overcome conflicts, seeing them as an opportunity to develop a framework that works for everyone.
We create equal chances and possibilities – through social integration. We do not just work for those involved, we work together WITH them: this way they can build real connections with each other. Progress built on common decisions and agreements is more successful, more permanent and sustainable. Together with other core values such as inclusion, diversity, acceptance and openness, and equal opportunities, it guides our work with vulnerable groups, with a special focus on disadvantaged Roma people and refugees from war.
We work for happier nurseries, kindergartens, and schools. With our anti-aggression and anti-bullying programs for kindergartens and schools, we work to build strong communities, where instead of a punitive approach, a restorative-cooperative approach makes the days of the children and teachers better. It is important for us that professionals working with children are able to create the conditions necessary for children to develop optimally, with a special focus on disadvantaged children using a trauma-informed and child-centred approach and tools. We support the wellbeing and healthy development of children through non-formal educational services.
We support the establishment and operation of Play and Learning Hubs working with the TOY for Inclusion methodology developed by ICDI (International Child Development Initiatives). We make common decisions in our common issues – through social dialogue. With the help of social dialogue models, we find common points, confront the different ideas and take new aspects into consideration. We analyse the cases together, go into the depth and learn from each other for the sake of better understanding and change.
