- Youth and education
Vilnius open youth centre ,,Mes" is based on non-formal learning, activities organized for the young people from 14 to 29 years old based on their capabilities and preferences. Our main source of income is Vilnius municipality (covers salaries and pays for activities). Alternative sources of income are projects (National agency of youth affairs, European Solidarity Corps, National Sports Promotion Fund). We have participated in certain projects in Erasmus+ youth field: 2014-2-LT-KA205-003888 “ Youth work development in Lithuania and Denmark”, 2015-1-NL02-KA105-000916 “Clap lab”, 2016-1-NL02-KA105-001194 “Clap lab 2nd edition”, 2015-2-NL02-KA105-000995 “Big Questions”, 2016-2-NL02-KA105-001362 “Big Questions 2nd edition”, 2017-2-DE04-KA205-015518 “Connected Spaces of Learning in Europe”, 2016-3-LT02-KA205-005089 “Media Literacy and Critical Thinking in Youth Work“
Our mission is a safe leisure place for any kind of young people.
Our main activities are open youth work, street based youth work, individual consulting, non-formal education, youth information and consultation, execution of youth related projects, organising summer camps and hikes and organising events for youngsters.
Our strength is open youth work, we are the ones who have a direct link to youth (our centre has 7 open youth spaces directly working with youth on their daily basis). So we are a reliable source of information presenting up to date situation regarding youth.
We believe that networking is highly important nowadays as it provides us with new perspectives and opportunities. We can benefit from it by widening our point of view, being encouraged to try new ways working, new methods and being seen and recognised both in national and international level.
