The main aim of youth camps is to ignite new, attractive, creative initiatives that would help to involve Kaunas and Kaunas district communities, international & local youth in the activities of the Kaunas 2022 project. Youth camps, occurring every two years, aim to bring together an international youth network and locals, which would help developing ideas and projects for 2022 in a spirit of cooperation and co-creation. The first youth camp took place in 2018. You can see the results of this camp here.
This programme is designed to include youth into joint creation of changes in Kaunas and its district. A group of participants for “Kaunas Challenge” is selected each September. More about the educational programme:
