Blue Point Drug Counselling and Outpatient
Centre Foundation (Budapest)
The Captain Peer (Helpers from the corner)
project introduces a peer-driven intervention
model supporting the needle exchange program
of Blue Point. The peer based approach here
means that intravenous drug users (IDUs) give
informal support to other IDUs. In this project the
organization worked to find and select those
clients who can become peers by participating at
trainings and joining the work. On one hand, they
will help the Foundation achieve its objectives
more effectively, on the other hand, they will gain
practical experience and may acquire different
skills that are useful outside the programme in
other areas of their lives. On the open day
visitors can participate at the closing event of the
peer program - an international conference
organized on the International Day against Drug Abuse.

Real Pearl Foundation (Told)
The warmth of home
Real pearl foundation helped improve the insulation of people’s houses in Told, an
(extremely) poor village in Eastern Hungary, Through this, families will need less
heating fuel (briquettes) in the coming winter. The project therefore enables
participants to make long-term savings on their winter expenses. Besides they
created a carpentry workshop with infrastructure and technicians who can help more
people to repair their windows and doors. On the open day the foundations’
colleagues will present the impacts and results of the project to the visitors.

Shelter Foundation
The “City walk” presents another face of Budapest, which we see every day but don’t
recognize. We see it but we don’t realize that the street is the home of homeless people,
where the pavement is their floor, the objects of the public space are their furniture and the
sky is the ceiling. There is no heating and real bathroom…..the daily routine means to
survive,
We can catch a glimpse on this world with the guidance of a real expert - the goal of this
walk is to think and talk. The final destination is an institution of the organizing foundation,
an architectural and historical memorial.
