As part of “Find Your Tribe” in Riga, participants had the opportunity to step beyond the project environment and connect directly with organizations that are actively shaping stronger, more inclusive communities across Latvia. The NGO Fair became a space where ideas, experiences, and real-world community action came together under one roof. Throughout the day, participants met inspiring local organizations working in the fields of youth engagement, social inclusion, cultural

As “Find Your Tribe” moves closer to its final chapter in Riga, the atmosphere within the group has noticeably transformed. The uncertainty and hesitation of the first days have evolved into confidence, cooperation, and a growing sense of belonging. This day focused on putting everything participants have been learning throughout the project into real practice, not only as individuals, but as a community working together. The day centered around collaboration, preparation, an

As “Find Your Tribe” continues in Riga, each day reveals new ways that connection can grow, sometimes through deep conversations, sometimes through shared challenges, and sometimes in the most unexpected everyday moments. This day became a reminder that trust and belonging are not built through grand gestures alone, but through small experiences shared together. We began the morning with breakfast, followed by our now familiar Rise & Recharge session and daily Community Build

As the days of “Find Your Tribe” continue in Riga, the connections within the group are becoming deeper, more honest, and more meaningful. This day was not about speaking louder, it was about listening more carefully: to ourselves, to others, and to the spaces around us.

Afterward, we moved into our familiar Rise & Recharge session and daily

In Riga, the journey of “Find Your Tribe” is becoming deeper, more honest, and more human with every passing day. Day 2 invited participants not only to connect with others, but also to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the invisible walls that isolation can create in young people’s lives. We began the morning with Rise & Recharge, a screen-free hour dedicated to yoga, meditation, and reflective journaling. Before diving into heavy conversations, participants

Our first full day together was all about connection, trust, and creating a space where everyone feels valued, heard, and safe. We began the morning with a warm welcome and project orientation, giving participants the chance to discover the goals of “Find Your Tribe”, explore the venue, and start getting to know the people who will share this journey together. One of the first reflective moments of the day was writing anonymous expectation sheets, where everyone shared their

The journey has officially started and Riga is now full of new energy, cultures, and connections. Today, participants from Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, and Cyprus arrived for our “Find Your Tribe” Youth Exchange. After settling into the accommodation, we came together for our very first shared dinner, a simple moment that already felt like the beginning of something meaningful. Different backgrounds, different stories, one shared experience ahead. The first smiles, conversation

The day began with a group discussion on traditional and modern approaches to building community resilience.

The day began with a Hungarian cultural breakfast, offering participants a chance to experience another country’s traditions while starting the morning together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

After lunch and a short break, the p

The fourth day took participants beyond the training room and into the streets of Riga, where learning happened through conversations, observations, and real encounters with history and society. The morning began with a snowy walk through the Latvian capital. Covered in winter atmosphere, Riga offered participants not only beautiful views and historical landmarks, but also an opportunity to better understand the city beyond its architecture. As the group explored the streets

The day began with a Lithuanian breakfast that brought everyone together around culture, conversation, and shared experience. These intercultural mornings are slowly becoming one of the most special parts of the project, simple moments where participants discover each other’s traditions not through presentations, but through everyday experiences, food, stories, and conversations around the table. After breakfast, participants took part in a reflective activity called “Resilie

The second day felt different. The nervousness of the first day slowly started disappearing, and the group began turning into something more natural, more open, and more connected.
