Target Group determines what they want to learn

After the summer break, the FairCare international project team met online again. But the work didn’t stop during the holidays! In the coming weeks, the Advisory Teams – representing the project’s three target groups – will play a central role in deciding what knowledge is needed for each module, and together with the project partners, we will use this input to shape the initial framework. The full development of the training materials will take place in November during an in-person training week in Erfurt, Germany, again collaboratively.

CODE news: excellent training material created!

We have great news about our international CODE project, which works to make the financial sector and banking accessible! We have completed a comprehensive training material, which provides answers to everything related to financial services and banking in five modules. Another great news is that EU legislation of fundamental importance to our project came into force on June 28, 2025. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) aims to ensure that uniform rules apply to the accessibility of online banking services and ATMs in the EU market.

Self-determination in long-term care – FairCare

The second personal meeting of our FairCare project was held in Dun Laoghaire, near Dublin, on 25-26 June 2025. During the two-day meeting, important issues were taken forward in the Erasmus+ project on developing self-determined lives in long-term care. A needs assessment of the target group has been done and the development of the training material and the interactive platform has started.

General Meeting

The Association held its Annual General Meeting on 5. June 2025 at the House of Civil Communities in Pécs.

We went to the streets for civilians!

We have won the battle, but not yet the war. It’s encouraging to see that speaking up really does makes sense, because the draft law was taken off the agenda as unexpectedly as it came, the day before the parliamentary vote! Although the vote was postponed, the draft law itself has not been withdrawn. Therefore, in Pécs we will continue. We became for you. We are with you. We stay because of you.

Our most important day with partners

The results of our association are never achieved alone. We continue to believe deeply in partnerships. Pécs has a vibrant civic life, so we are fortunate to have the opportunity to connect with excellent organisations. The European Day of Independent Living on 5 May is very important for our association as it is a core objective of People First. On this occasion we presented certificates of appreciation to our partners.

Civic and business cooperation in Pécs

Being an NGO in Pécs is good! Another great collaboration has been launched in our city, a truly niche initiative of which we are delighted to be a part. Indeed, you can be part of it as a local NGO or local company. active companies and NGOs of Pécs who want to do something for the local community joined forces to work together for local values and the local community. Our first joint project is the development of the " Leave it between us!" campaign, which aims to encourage the people of Pécs to donate 1% of their personal income tax (SZJA) to support local organisations, thus enriching the local community.
