When you have a drive to explore the world, working on a project that aims at community transformation becomes a great opportunity. A strong inner sense of justice and being a “doer” perfectly fits a description of my personality: a 29 years old #chooseklaipeda team member, who initially joined the project as an ambassador to be part of something bigger.
Even though my educational background is related to research in the field of social sciences, I believe in the unity of knowledge, so after working in the business sphere for a couple of years, I decided to switch the field and got a job in an open youth center. It became a challenge and a great learning experience at the same time, which helped me to form a better and realistic understanding of youth, particularly their concerns and needs: What does their daily routine look like? What motivates youth to engage in certain activities and why do some youth-oriented events not catch their interest?
