🏢 About the local organisation
THIS IS A YOUTH EXCHANGE - Only for participants from Proyecto Kieu, Kompass, Milzinu Lizdas
Vir'Volt association has developed for many years collective and participative projects which gather young people from different countries living and working with local communities. Through all our activities we wish to raise awareness and promote more responsible ways of living among participants and local communities.
The young people will contribute to make the world of tomorrow, and it is important that they have opportunities to think about it now in a global and intercultural way.
During the project, 4 groups coming from Lithuania, Germany, France and Spain will gather to discuss more responsible ways of living and wondering how to raise awareness about it.
