Project “Days of Strength for Young People” Opens with a Youth Gathering

The association “Ērberģietes” received funding for its initiative project “Days of Strength for Young People” within the European and State Education Development Agency project “School in the Community”. The project offers various activities for young people through December.

On 13 June, a youth gathering was held as the opening event of the “Days of Strength for Young People” project. Active and enthusiastic young people came together for bicycle orienteering around Mazzalves parish.

This time the weather was on our side: after a rainy period, the sun finally shone, allowing the young people to fully enjoy the adventure. Participants competed in teams to find all of the orienteering checkpoints. Each team received a mobile map with control points; at each point, a QR code provided a photograph and interesting facts about that location.

Adults accompanied the youngest participants along the route, helping them navigate and ensuring safe travel on the roads.

We are delighted that every team found the checkpoints and received beautiful commemorative prizes created by artist Zanda Ragele.

After about two and a half hours on bicycles, everyone had earned a rest. Participants were welcomed with delicious Vairogi burgers, drinks and a campfire for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories from the day.

The evening ended with a disco, where young people could dance and celebrate the beginning of summer.
