The aim of the project "Life on screen - online youth" to raise the issue of life on the Internet among young people. During the youth exchange we will sharpen our vigilance on the Internet, we will open our eyes to certain behaviors on the Internet, such as public insults, discrimination. We will also present them with a set of rules that can protect us from being a victim of fraud. Against the background of these activities, we want young people, through joint international work, young people from Poland, Bulgaria and Lithuania to develop the ability to cooperate, share tasks, listen, creativity and inventiveness. This cooperation will also remove barriers existing between nationalities, 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 "VsI Jaunimo ratas" and from Bulgaria "Young Improvers for Youth Development"
