Step Up! is not over yet

The main event of project Step Up! has ended.

The international youth exchange was hosted in Talsi region, Valdemarpils city, near a beautiful lake. From 9th to 17th of August 25 young people from 5 countries through interactive and fun methods found out for themselves what it is like – to work together, lead an active way of life and think of people around oneself. Countries involved in the exchange are situated in different Europe's regions, which gave an extra intercultural value to the exchange. We didn't do without intercultural everyday conflicts, but we found common language and learned to live together.

As always we had to account for the weather, but overall all the planned activities went very well. We've done interesting and somewhat difficult exercises on ropes, which helped find common language and find one's limit.
Much time was devoted to realizing own opportunities and opportunities of other people - we designed real exercises and games for people with special needs, which we afterwards did together with inhabitants of a facility for mentally challenged in Veģi. We had lots of good impressions and memories. (coming soon to photos section)

The exchange is over and everyone is back home. But it doesn't mean that everything is over! We plan to do an open event in Riga to introduce our exchange and, possibly, propose interesting and new experience. Everyone's invited, follow the announcements!
