We have reached approximately 7,500 thousand unique young people across Latvia!

🔵 From 30 September 2025 to 27 May 2026, the “Laiks Jauniešiem” travelled throughout Latvia to lead civic engagement activities in educational institutions on opportunities for young people, their involvement, responsibility, community building and the role each of us plays in these. These took the form of conversations, practical tasks, discussions, the occasional joke and non-formal educational methods, which helped children and young people to better understand that their voice, ideas and actions matter today.

✅️ During this time, we reached 108 schools and 28 pre-school educational institutions. Behind every point on the map are real meetings, real people, real conversations and a contribution to strengthening civic participation throughout Latvia.

P.S. The locations shown on the map are approximate, as they have been generated using artificial intelligence and may differ from the actual locations.

🙌🏻 We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the educational institutions that welcomed us – the management of schools and pre-school institutions, teachers, form tutors, support staff, children and young people. Thank you for your trust, your invitations, your warm welcome, your active involvement, your questions, your discussions and the energy we created together. It is precisely your openness and willingness to get involved that make these sessions so valuable and vibrant.

❤️ A special thank you to the ‘Laiks Jauniešiem’ team – for the early mornings, long journeys, busy days, challenges, adaptability, support for one another, and the enormous heart that went into every session. This is a great team effort of which we are truly proud. We are strong because we work together!

📌 We invite educational institutions to register for lessons for the next academic year as part of the VIAA STEM and civic participation project right now, by calling +371 23 273 125 or emailing info@laiksjauniesiem.lv.

😍 Non-formal education is fun, impactful and essential. Young people are our present!
