The main aim of our INTERNATIONAL YOUTH INITIATIVE was to organize different art and cultural activities and events in Narva, Daugavpils (we have changed the town, because we have met young people from there, who were ready to be active; Daugavpils and Narva are two similar towns with its economical structure and number of given opportunities) and Riga to make the leisure time of young people more various and useful in order to develop competences, discuss important social issues via art, and to make our communities more attractive in general. The project lasted from September 2017 till August 2018.

Young people, who were involved in the project, are Narva citizens, 13-20 y.o., they were very active and helpful.
