Noortevahetus "Encourage yourself" Leedus

Kasutajalt -

Youth exchange took place in vacation resort near small town Merkine from 10th to 19th April. The topic was overcoming fears and encouraging yourself and other people. Lithuania, UK, France, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Estonia and Turkey sent 6 participants + 1 group leader. Program was directed by Turkish man Dijadin and executed by country teams, support for local practicalities was given by Lithuanian organisation WeGo. 




The culture nights we're really awesome. I liked that people put much work into representing their own country and culture. The nights always ended up dancing and having a blast. I learned so much in such a short time. It was an amazing experience. 

The location where we stayed at was in the middle of the forest and the place was really pretty and nice. This property was big and there was a sauna and pool. The main house bedrooms were a little bit small but cottage houses were cute and comfortable. Also there was “chilling” room, where everybody could relax and play some games. It is really fun place where to stay at. 

Lithuanian organisation WeGo were helping a lot with our day trips. One of the highlight was definitely hiking in the forest and across the hills with whole group of Youth Exchange around Merkine town. Everybody enjoyed it, even though we walked about 20 km in total. We finished the day with tasty barbeque. On the day off we had our time in Druskininkai. There were couple of options what to do - cable car, indoor snow area, tarzan tracks in the forest and more. We hired bikes and went for a ride in the nature and through the city. That was so much fun. The day before our flights back to home we went for kayaking. We connected kayaks and were cruising along the river in about 9 kayaks in a line. Lot of laugh and nice time spent. This kind of activities are connecting people more, if you get out of the “classroom”. We had amazing people who were working together and helping each other a lot in different activities. The Youth Exchange will be definitely one of the experiences in life you’ll remember for a long time.

During 19th to 25th of January 2018 we took part on a training course in Spain, San Esteban de Gormaz. "You CREATE - Coaching, Empowering and Activating!" Involved 8 partnering countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Romania and Spain). During the course we went trough various self-assessments to learn to know our strenghts, interests and traits which can be used to improve the visibility on the road to employement. The course was organized by a inspiring NGO named Asociación Asekas . Their welcoming and introduction to Spanish culture was really one of a kind. Also the venue was on a territory of a public school, providing us with the invaluable experience to see the school setting of a scholar, activites and traditions of local youth in the form of their presence and various picture-mosaiques and newspaper-cut outs on the walls. Recognizing the state of (un)employement situation in current Europe, “YOU CREATE” comes to meet the need of s

Every year millions of people die from wrong interventions. The reason is that most people do not have enough knowledge about what they should do in an emergency situation. Sometimes a piece of first aid knowledge can save a person's life. According to the report published by Turkish Health Ministry in 2011, the first 5 minutes is 5 times more important than the rest minutes for the wounded victim to survive him or her. With this project, we aimed to come together with young people from different parts of Europe to share the information about first aid techniques for emergencies and also learn different intervention techniques. The project was implemented in Aksaray city in Turkey. The activities of the project were between 17-25 July 2016. The activity was a training course and it lasted 7 days. 29 youth workers came from 6 countries (Turkey, Estonia, Bulgaria, Malta, Lithuania and Romania). The coordinator of the project is Behçet Hastaları ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Derneği. 29 Part

28.04-05.05 toimus Kivi turismitalus, Viljandimaal noortevahetus, mille teemaks oli soorollide vägivald. Noortevahetuses osalesid noored vanuses 15-17a ja olid nad Gruusiast, Ukrainast, Itaaliast, Hispaaniast ja Eestist. 29.04 Olime öösel Kivi turismitallu kohale jõudnud ja umbes kahe ajal magama saanud, ärkasime hommikul poole kümne ajal. Me ei tundnud veel üksteist väga, seega oli esimene päev mõeldud tutvusmiseks. Esimesed tutvumismängud olid sellised, kus pidime oma nime ütlema ja veidi koostööd tegema. Peale lõunat ehitasime etteantud vahenditega silda, kui kuulsime, et selleks on 40min, siis ei saanud keegi aru, miks nii kaua aega on vaja, aga lõpus jäi kõigil aega puudu. Õhtuks olime enam vähem kõik juba tuttavad, ning peale õhtusööki tegime juba ise asju koos. Õhtu lõpuks olime mingi seltskonnaga kellegi toas ja jagasime muljeid esimesest päevast ja oma riigi kultuurist ja traditsioinidest. See oli hämmastav, kui ruttu sõpradeks saime! Minu meelest, oli see üks lõbus
