- Youth and education
The mission of the Foundation is to make the contribution for the reduction of the social segregation of the youth from disadvantaged families and other vulnerable social groups.
There are two main goals in Foundation's activity. One of our primary objectives is to promote and encourage children and young people from disadvantages families and/or other vulnerable social groups for learning and studying.
Another goal is to make efforts for integrating the refugee youth to the local community by supporting their education and other activities.
Projects:
The Foundation has a few areas of focus for its activity. In 2011 it is foreseen to run project designated to support and encourage the education of children and youth from disadvantages families. Grants will be available to help with education costs such as fees, books and equipment and travel. Grants will be normally made for one academic year at a time. If a grant is made for more than one year, payments in future years will be dependent on receipt of satisfactory progress reports from the individual’s school or university. Also the exchange program is a subject of negotiation with some partners, and exchange program guidelines are under development.
Project of 2012 is designated to promote the integration of refugee children and youth (especially those of Arabian nationality) into local community. Certain funds will be allocated for the educational and cultural programs that will include seminars and lectures on Lithuanian culture, traditions, history and basic laws, meetings and joint events with peers from local community and tailored trips/excursions to some Lithuanian historical places, museums and cultural events.
