Youth conference in Naujoji Akmenė

Last Friday we volunteers attended a youth conference in Naujoji Akmenė in order to participate in a workshop about international volunteering.
The young people from different schools in Lithuania who attended this youth conference, were split into working groups, which focused on different topics.
One of those working groups was discussing the national and international volunteering with the "Eurodesk" Coordinator Evaldas Rupkus. They spoke about why it is important to do charity work, where you can be a volunteer in Lithuania, what possibilities there are to go abroad as a volunteers and what you learn while you are an international volunteer.


It was a great opportunity for us to present the "European Voluntary Service" in general and our program at Radijo Klubas. Hopefully we were able to make the attending students interested in the great option to become a volunteer abroad which the "European Voluntary Service" provides for everyone.

After the workshops in groups, all participants gathered to present what they discussed.

We filmed while the participants who attended the workshop about volunteering presented what they were talking about in their working group. 

Moreover we got some useful information about the organisation "Eurodesk Lithuania". 
We will share this information with you in our next post, because we think it can be very useful for every Lithuanian student, who wants to be active in Lithuania, become a volunteer abroad or is looking for information related to education, travelling, politics and more.


We also wanted to say, that once again we were surprised about the incredible hospitality of our Lithuanian hosts and the warm welcome we received at this youth conference in Naujoji Akmenė.
