Main Projects / Activities

We develop refugee empowerment and refugee representation projects and co-design activities with refugees, other foreigners and Lithuanians in the fields of entrepreneurship, advocacy, integration and education, which address needs and challenges of refugees and benefit the society. We implemented over 9 projects in refugee integration field funded by local and international donors (such as US embassy, Nordic Council of ministers, UNHCR etc). Currently, we are implementing the international initiative Volunteers Everywhere, which aims to support the integration of refugees from Ukraine through a mobile application that connects volunteers with refugees. The project is funded by the European Union under the ESF+ Social Innovation+ initiative. We are also finalizing the project funded by the U.S Embassy in Vilnius, which aims for the sustainable integration of Ukrainian refugees into Lithuanian society by equipping them with entrepreneurial competencies, cybersecurity and digital skills. Through workshops, language courses, and networking events, refugees are provided with the necessary tools to establish businesses or become self-employed. With a significant focus on Ukrainian participants, the project aims to enhance their digital knowledge, cybersecurity awareness, and entrepreneurship skills, eventually facilitating their long-term integration into the socioeconomic fabric of Lithuania.
