A week to remember

What a powerful and unforgettable week it was for the participants, group leaders, project team, volunteers, and Rotary members. It was a week that will be remembered by many for a long time.

In the following paragraphs you will be able to discover what happened during the 10 days of August 2022 when 35 youngsters from six different countries - Lithuania, Kosovo, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia - came to the Czech Republic as part of our program.

The main goal of the program is to help youngsters from homes for children without proper parental care to develop their potential by creating action plans, find their talents, and identify their skills with the help of professional trainers. This is then combined with activities that takes place during the youth exchange.

This is followed based on the outcomes of the youth exchange with offerings for youngsters with the opportunities for their personal and professional development through usage of the online platform where our 3rd party partners will be offering career opportunities, matching the individual needs of the youngsters.
