The aim of the project is to increase the alertness of young people on the web. We want to make young people sensitive to the fact that we are not anonymous. Young people participating in exchanges through classes and workshops will become aware of what activities they can afford, what they can do and how to safely protect their accounts. Against the background of these activities, we want young people to work together internationally to develop the ability to cooperate, to share tasks, to listen and to dominate in a group, to develop creativity and ingenuity. Cooperation between Poland and Lithuania will eliminate barriers between nations, increase tolerance and understanding among participants.
All information related to the implementation of the project can also be found on the Fanpage of our Foundation on Facebook.
We also invite you to the Fanpage of our partner organization from Lithuania "VšĮ Inovacijų biuras"
