The need of the project - by watching various surveys we see a strong interest in the topics of leadership, especially among the youth. In our organization's work we observe that in the work with children and youth, especially teenagers, there is a need for a strong leader that is able to speak clearly and persuasively, to think creatively and at the same time to be a friend to the children. Leadership theme is relevant due to a real need to cultivate young leaders today in order to achieve good results in the future that will ensure the personal and social well-being of not only our country, but also in the European context. Project goal - to help young people understand the importance of leadership in the modern world, to learn about the leadership and develop leadership qualities. We aim to promote international youth communication through creative work, joint activities and teamwork; to learn about other cultures; to exchange best practices; to develop young people's self-awareness, personal responsibility and commitment. The participants - young people from Lithuania, Estonia and Italy. Each country's group will be formed of 16-19 year olds. There will be invited young people with fewer opportunities, youngsters living in small towns, rural and remote areas. There will be a total of 42 participants from three countries (14 in each group). The project will be implemented during a 10-day long youth exchange project in Lithuania. Planned activities: introduction to the concept of leadership, understanding leadership fundamentals and the importance of leadership in the modern world, developing public speaking skills, creativity training, and training abilities to understand the team members and to influence them.
