2018
A big breakthrough: First international project approved
This year will be left in our memories due to a fact that our first international Erasmus+ Youth Exchange project “Let’s fight unemployment” was approved and implemented in Lithuania. Youth exchange aimed to support youth by helping them to overcome unemployment and its consequences, through developing young people’s competences and knowledge in the areas of self-awareness, entrepreneurship, healthy behaviors, communication, contributing towards the creation of employment opportunities. An unforgettable youth exchange was full of new knowledge, experiences and long-lasting memories. Next to this we organized local workshops and visited local businesses in pursuit of expanding of our local network.
