Mission and Objectives

The main aim of AKTYVISTAI is to gather a company which would not only realize itself and its ideas but would also spend their free time. The association is open not only for the youth but everyone who likes an active lifestyle, is positive, looks for friends or wants to teach or learn something new. It is also possible to test yourself in various activities, find new friends, have a good time and even to earn some experience. Our attitude involves being ACTIVE, POSITIVE and ENJOYING life. We are trying not to limit our activities to one direction, allowing people of different ideas to express themselves freely. For this reason, we will encourage people to implement their own or their friends’ ideas. This will help to perform our tasks more effectively; our members will be better motivated and active and the internal atmosphere of the association will be more balanced.

Main Projects / Activities

For a few years when AKTYVISTAI association was being found, its founders, their friends, acquaintances and recommended people were actively participating in international projects and meetings. Our members represented Lithuania in over 40 various international events which created plenty of opportunities. At the end of 2013, together with experienced organisations from foreign countries we are about to establish a worldwide network of organisations, which will be designed to educate people using our experience and time-tested practical trainings. We want to encourage our young people to get involved into these activities or at least to try this type of projects as it might give them a chance to travel, get acquainted with other countries and their cultures and get some interesting experience.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The founders of the association are nine good friends and colleagues who earned each other’s trust over the years in various events, projects and other activities. Each of them has a different yet useful experience which, we are sure, will contribute to our success and good results. Some of them are entrepreneurs (businessman) so for good idea should be not difficult to get some support. Also they can help with contacts and their friends. It is very important in such small country like Lithuania. In our City Kaunas, we like organization,like people, have close contact with city municipality.If You need, we can be Your information distributor (source) for Lithuania or Kaunas city, because we know and have good contacts with a lot of organizations.
