The meeting officially opened with a warm welcome from the host organization, followed by an engaging presentation of the project’s aims and expected impact.
“This project is not just about digital world—it’s about people. It’s about giving youth the skills and support they need to thrive in a connected world,” said one of the project coordinators.

Through interactive workshops and roundtable sessions, the group is exploring ways to build digital resilience and promote mental well-being among youth.

In addition to the working sessions, participants are enjoying cultural experiences in Rezekne, strengthening the bonds of European cooperation through informal exchange and shared values.
