Description
The project aims to upgrade and fully furnish one open youth center in Radviliskis and set up two open youth centers in Seduva and Radviliskis. In 2012 a study of Radviliskis district youth problematic was performed, and this gave impetus to building the Radviliskis center. However, with the available financial resources, it is not possible to solve all the problems identified during the investigation. This project and the complete repair of three open youth centers would achieve the objective of the program and fundamentally change the situation of youth of Radviliskis district. The project will result in three fully furnished open youth centers with the necessary equipment and operational sets of measures ready for high quality work with youth.
