Are you ready to be happy?
WORKING METHODS
Happy Lifestyle topic will be discovered by games and workshops based on active non-formal education methods
We would try to find the best workshops through methods and activities which will help the participants to develop their creativity and to contribute thanks to the non-formal education to their personal fulfillment.

At the same time, they will have an opportunity to discover themselves in the different intercultural environment

Programme consists of different activities which covers the range of specified themes, such us educational, awareness raising workshops, joint initiatives, physical activities and cultural understanding events.

Rules are there to respect them!
RULES
Here you will find some rules that we will follow during YE!

Everyone take part!
The name of our YE is "Happy Lifestyle: Give&Get!" and during the project the participants will be encourage to take max out of the sessions leaded by the group leaders and themselves.

Give&Get!
Participants will be encouraged to share knowledge, experience and to organize the activities and to positively welcome the activities by other paxs.

Use all you see!
Paxs will be encouraged to use all the availalbe materials, incl. recycling items, to create something new and to minimize their "environmental feet".

Move you body!
The part of YE will be dedicated for leisure time sport activities as we do believe that you can get the energy "to change your own world" only by moving yourself. Leisure time sport activities will be based on non-traditional sport activities as the tool to use back home with the community around the youth.

Express yourself!
Participants will be lead to raise their voice through the different way of art expression, to tell their stories and to welcome the others experience. There is no wrong or right opinion!

No smoke and drink!
This YE is smoking and drinking alcohol free! If the youth can't afford it for a week, better to stay at home.

Safety first!

Our venue and activities will be locted in urban and rural area – forest, sea, buildings... and all together we will look after each other to build strong, safe and trustful community among the Baltic states youth.

Respect each of all!
We do believe that only in calm and positive environment we can build the base for the happy lifestyle. And we do believe to respect other its important to let tthem be themselves. We all together work on it. Respect to other also includes to be on time whenever its agreed by the group.

Celebrate!
All together we will celebrate the achievements of each of paxs and the group ones. Every day and at the end through different kind of reflection and evaluation methods and the ways.
