What does it mean to be a migrant? How does it feel to be in a new country where you are not understood, where your culture is something distant and unknown?
The participants of the Ukrainian team, together with young people from 
Romania, 
Poland, and 
Lithuania, tried to find answers to these questions during an international youth exchange in Lithuania.
6 days of unforgettable experience:
Participants went through simulation exercises that allowed them to literally “try on” the lives of migrants and experience the challenges they face every day.
We learned not just to speak, but to truly hear each other, overcoming language barriers and cultural differences.
We explored leadership as a tool for change: how to lead, support communities, and create an environment where everyone feels accepted.
We mastered “Lotus Blossom” – a technique that helps find solutions to complex social challenges.
This experience will stay with the exchange participants forever, inspiring further changes and new projects. Thank you to the organizers @ay.institute for this incredible opportunity!
