Objectives

The overall aim of the project is to introduce Lithuanian students with less access and fewer opportunities to debating and increase their interest in and engagement with human rights and sustainability issues. It has the following objectives: 1) to teach young people to debate and organise a Debating Contest in the Lithuanian language; 2) to create opportunities for Lithuanian students with less access and fewer opportunities to learn about and engage with human rights and sustainability issues; 3) to create a space for sustained and equal collaboration between the youth and decision-makers by organising the Summer Academy, the Thematic Workshops and the Final Event of the project; 4) to establish long-term partnerships with schools, teachers and youth organisations and to get them involved in the organisation of the Debating Contest; 5) to inspire to debate and provide opportunities for civic engagement for young people living beyond the big cities and from ethnic minority groups.
