Our Vision
Since 2010 LIDOSK works to value nature and to build a sustainable nature awareness. Our motto is “the only thing we leave in nature is our footprints”: we believe that nature is our home and we can keep it safe only with the help of youngsters. We want to fight against all forms of discrimination and to support cultural diversity, social cohesion, sustainable development and foster youth mobility across Europe.
Our main aim is to engage young people through the promotion of intercultural learning, human rights, active citizenship and volunteering activities we encourage youngsters, especially those with fewer opportunities or disabilities, to take actions.
What We Do?
We promote intercultural learning, human rights, active citizenship, volunteering, sport for a healthy lifestyle and environmental protection. We also support youth cooperation in Europe throughout our volunteering projects and exchanges with European countries. We encourage youngsters to learn more about cultural differences, modernity and digitalization. We work both on the local and on the international levels. We are taking parts in various Erasmus+ projects such as training courses and youth exchanges, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs, European Solidarity Corps volunteering programs, as well as strategic partnership development and capacity building in many diverse fields. In our office we are also enabling local and international volunteers to meet, to be creative and to work together to create an impact in the city, in their lives and consequently in the world.
How we do it?
LIDOSK develops and promotes the Youth Action approach to empower and support a great-number of young people to take action to benefit themselves and others. Youth projects are based on awareness-raising activities, intercultural activities, sport events, tournaments, conferences, training courses, youth exchanges and campaigns. In order to reach more people, we are also following new trends in social media and applying them to our projects’ outputs and outcomes as well.
