Activity description

Riga Youth Centre KAŅIERIS is a cooperation platform for youth organisations and young people who want to participate and organise various types of activities. What does that mean in real life? We organize trainings for youth workers (mainly youth organizations), provide space and resources for their own activities, take part in international projects and events, support local youth in their search for participation, activism and involvement opportunities. And when it gets too hot (like last summer!) we simply drag our bean-bags outside and do all that while cooling in the shadow of a big tree.
