Policy Framework

There is no coherent framework for the recognition of volunteering in Hungary. However, the Act CCIV of 2011 on National Higher Education opens up the possibility of including voluntary activities in studies:

'(...) students shall have the opportunity to collect up to five per cent of the total number of credits required for obtaining a diploma by taking optional courses, or by participating in voluntary activities in substitution for those courses.'

The more detailed regulations on recognising voluntary activities are at the level of higher education institutions so they make their own regulations separately.

Existing arrangements

The only existing recognition tool for skills recognition is Youthpass, which can be used to prove participation in Erasmus+ voluntary activities.
