On Saturday, April 5, Liepāja 2027 Youth Programme participants met in the creative space “Vadugunis” for an engaging workshop led by Elīna Briljonoka, board member of YOU+, to explore topics such as group dynamics, division of responsibilities, maintaining motivation, and overcoming challenges.<\/p>
Through open discussions and practical tasks, participants also focused on tackling procrastination, building trust in the team, and understanding the importance of rest for long-term results. Work on youth-generated ideas continues, step by step bringing them closer to project realization.<\/p>
Earlier, on March 22, the focus was on learning the fundamentals of marketing during a session with mentors Gustavs Daniels Ozols and Renāts Butkus.<\/p>
Participants explored key marketing principles – from understanding the audience to crafting a clear message and selecting the right communication channels. Each team also created a marketing plan for their own event, applying what they had learned in a hands-on way.<\/p>
The goal of the Youth Programme is to promote active youth participation in the development and implementation of the Liepāja – European Capital of Culture 2027 programme, offering 30 motivated young people from Liepāja, South Kurzeme and Kuldīga the opportunity to contribute to the creation of various cultural projects and events.<\/p>
During the pilot project, participants are gaining valuable knowledge and skills, as well as hands-on experience in several cultural organizations. The programme includes training sessions with cultural sector experts, regular mentoring, and a study visit to Tartu, Estonia – the European Capital of Culture 2024. At the end of the programme, youth teams will have a chance to win a €1000 grant to implement their own idea.<\/p>
The project is carried out by Liepāja 2027 in cooperation with the association “Development Platform YOU+”, “Izgaismo ideju” from South Kurzeme, and the active youth association “Sprādziens” from Kuldīga.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
