NARVA TEENAGE CAMP

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The project is organized by non-formal learning centre VitaTiim. Its mission is to create an inspiring international environment for Ida-Virumaa County youth, to promote life-long learning and personal development in the global world. And the most important task is to make young people believe in their own abilities. This project’s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures and languages to the youth, learn and share different ways and techniques of creative expression and contribute to the development of local community. And the camp gives possibility for intensive contact between local youth and their peers from abroad, showing youngsters the diversity of world cultures, broadening their horizons and encouraging active communication through games and creative activities. International work camp participants will join local youth to work together for the benefit of the local community and to have leisure activities and intercultural learning experience together!
