Open Doors goes Lithuania – Girl Group leader training in Vilnius and study visit to Kaunas bears new inspiration
Six Girl Group leaders from Baku, Azerbaijan and the chairwomen of the Azeri women’s organization Yuva had the chance, during a five-day study-visit from 13 to 17 October, to discuss the joys and challenges of working with Girl Groups with colleagues from Lithuania. With the support of its local Lithuanian partners the Åland Islands Peace Institute organized the study-visit as part of the project “Open Doors”. The Peace Institute’s project staff Sarah Stephan and Justina Donielaite accompanied the visit.
Within Open Doors the Yuva has founded a youth center for girls in Baku, where currently ca. 10 Girl Group leaders are actively engaged in Girl Group activities. In Vilnius they participated together with three colleagues from Kaliningrad/Russia in a deepening training led by trainers Ruta Zitkiene and Daiva Sabuniene.
