Projects in Musninkai rural community

Here’s what I’ve learned during the Step by Step training course about youth participation: I learned how different events for the youth can be organized. Like what to keep in mind, how to manage without a (big) budget and how to keep the youth interested. I also learned new games and techniques to either get to know the group better or how to energize it. One of my favorites were fruit salad with chairs. I learned about how to boost youth participation / activate youngsters to participate. That can be done for example by just simple offering the youngsters the kind of activities they want to do themselves. Aka by listening the youngsters. I also learned about youth participation situations and challenges in different European countries. This was interesting and eye-opening. I learned about different kinds of youth centers. Like what they can offer, how much they can be open and who the workers can be (volunteers, youth workers and so on). I think the 8-step ladder about levels of yout...

  Inclusive Future Leaders was an international youth exchange project funded by European Union that brought together young people from Turkey, Romania, Spain, Poland, and Lithuania to learn about leadership, collaboration, and inclusion. This project was more than just exchange – it was a week of courage, growth, and new discoveries!  Below, participants share their experiences, impressions, and the most valuable lessons they took home! I really miss the days we all stayed together. It's a very precious experience for me and I want to live it more. About my participation in the project i am really glad of myself and everybody. I was more social then the normal time when i was there. When i return home i realized lots of things. One of them was i want to do it again and I'll miss my friends so much. I realized like i grown up here and developed myself. I learned a lot. About friendship, leadership, other countries cultures and languages. Furthermore i also improved my Englis...

  On the first day, I was excited. However, when we were already at the villa, I felt scared because I thought I would be shy and uncomfortable. But as we started, I discovered many things about volunteering. The socializing part was amazing—I loved how people took care of each other. Everyone was kind and respectful. On other days, I learned that I gained much more than just knowledge from the activities; I also learned how to feel empathy. Learning in another language was challenging but also very useful. I’m eager to use my knowledge about human rights in my everyday life as soon as possible. I also plan to talk about it in my school and share my experiences with my friends. 😊😊😊

  First of all, I would like to point out that this was my first training course.  My trip began the 28th of November and I arrived the 29th in "The Villa".  If I have to summarize my learnings during these days I would remark that now I know more about what is youth work about, concretely rural youth work, the problems that exists in rural area, how to deal with them, etc. Also, about the projects this association is implementing here and the outputs for the youth, how this is helping them to develop themselves better, and a bit of how to design a project, it was interesting to think of all the steps that are needed to run one.  The most remarkable thing has been people. Smart, kind, generous and funny people, they made this experience something to remember.  Also, having the opportunity to know "real" people from Lithuania doing traditional things, as we did in the festival "Romansu vakaras", it was a really nice experience listening to those songs, shar...
