The awful Black Friday madness, which originated in the USA, is becoming more and more widespread already in Hungary. On these occasions stores, shops and even online shopping portals offer their products much cheaper or at least they claim that they do so.
To counter this on Tuesday after the Thanksgiving season and Black Friday, as a response to commercialization and consumerism an initiative was also founded in the US, branded as ’Giving Tuesday’.
On Giving Tuesdays, CSOs, in particular by taking advantage of social media, highlight the importance and social benefits of donating and volunteering and offer opportunities through which anyone can get involved in community and voluntary activities. Their motto is ’ Make time to give back to your community which gave you so much’.
We hope that this initiative will take root and flourish in Hungary soon.
