I’m Inga from Lithuania. My volunteering experiences are more than 10 years. But I don’t call myself so. It’s my lifestyle. In the middle of August, I participated in a project, which was dedicated to refugees, stereotypes, xenophobia, cultural differences and things like that. The project took place in Romania town Sfantu Gheorgia. There were people from 9 countries: Hungary, Romania, Lithuania, Es

On September 1 – 10, in Sfantu Gheorghe (Romania) Erasmus+ training course was held called “Service vs. Learning = Volunteering”. I had the opportunity to participate in this project as one of the three representatives of Lithuania and I discovered more things that I was actually expecting. The most difficult part for me was working with the people I don‘t really know. There were participants from all ove

Just almost a week ago we attended a really intense and interesting training about cultural differences and xenophobia called H(youth)manity, which was held in a context of a recent refugee and immigration problem in Europe. The Project took place in a lovely Romanian town called Sfantu Gheorghe which is situated in a valley between two sets of mountains in a historical Transylvania region. 9 countries have been unit

My name is Ingrida and I am from Lithuania. I participated in program Erasmus+, which took place in Denmark, Copenhagen. The project was called ‘You are not alone’ and the main idea was talking about loneliness and dealing with problems about it.

Erasmus+ project ‘You’re welcome’ ended and I hurry to write everything that I experienced there. I heard before very many things about Denmark but now I saw everything by myself. Sunny Danish people, colourful houses, little mermaid, expensive shops and more you can see in capital of Denmark-Copenhagen. We lived in the Eastern Denmark in Stenløse, small town with beautiful nature, lovely houses and starry sky,

For the past week, 24 people from 8 different countries have been united by the same cause in the beautiful Polish place Krzyzowa. They were volunteering their time to help find a way to fight against the problems that discrimination causes. It is a well-known fact that our society is deeply divided on many important issues. Also, some of the particular forms of inequality have been around for a long time so people f

In the first weeks of Autumn I participated in trainings “Animate yourself!”. It was my third project and I have to admit I had high expectations- the topic and the number of participants (45!) intrigued me from the moment I saw the proposal. Daily schedule was the same as in any other project- 4 sessions with two coffee breaks and a lunch in between, what is more, an educational trip and a workshop in so

If I had to group all experiences of the week spent in Ohrid, Macedonia for the project Creativity as a Tool for Youth Empowerment into one word, that one and only word would be: perfect. Why exactly “perfect“ when they often say “nothing is perfect“? It seems to me that the meaning of the word „perfect“ can have different levels of meaning depending on how each individual of us defines it. For me I could say that be

This article will be about my personal experience in a youth exchange project “Sport is all around us”. The main purpose of this project was to encourage youth to participate in different sport activities, also to exchange experience in the field of sports between people from different countries. Participants from Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Italy talked about different kind of physical activities that a

Lithuania has one of the best scores on ambitious of young people to have their own business in Europe. Unfortunately, the situation becomes a little bit different when implemented business ideas by youth are counted. In order to find reasons why the situation is like this, what obstacles youth meet on their own way, on 5th May, 2015 the seminar-workshop “Is entrepreneurship a challenge for youth?” was organized by I
