“L.I.P.” — Leadership. Inclusion. Personal Growth.

On August 18–20, 2025, young people from Jelgava Municipality came together for a three-day intensive program during the "L.I.P." trainings to develop themselves as individuals and community builders.

During these three days, they:

✨ developed leadership skills, working both individually and in teams;
🤝 built an inclusive and supportive environment, learning to notice and value each participant's strengths;
🌟 refined their vision for the future, setting realistic goals and creating action plans.

Young people met with inspiring personalities who shared their experiences on overcoming initial challenges, maintaining motivation, and doing more than initially seems possible. Their shining eyes and willingness to take responsibility inspired us as well — witnessing the birth of initiatives that will make Jelgava Municipality even more vibrant and united. 💚

What did young people take with them?

• Practical tools for teamwork and project planning

• A stronger, more confident voice
• for public speaking and defending ideas;

• An understanding that an inclusive environment begins with everyone's responsibility and empathy.

Thank you to our partners

A heartfelt thank you to the Rural Support Service and Partnerība Lielupe for their support and belief in young people's potential. Without you, this experience would not have been possible! 🫶
