🗣️ Inspiration Meeting with Oskars Priede

On July 21, we welcomed Oskars Priede — a communication trainer and moderator often seen on major conference stages. With his experience in television, event hosting, and communication training, he helped young people:

  • develop a confident voice,
  • improve posture and presence.

After this day, we don't just speak better — we also stay silent more wisely. 😄

💡 What do young people gain?

During the project, young people develop:

  • Digital skills — audio editing, content creation, and communication on social media;

  • Self-confidence and expressive skills when speaking about issues important to society;

  • A sense of participation, realizing that their opinion truly matters.

    • At the end of the project — in January — a public conference will take place, where the results will be presented, the most inspiring podcast excerpts will be played, and new collaborations will be explored. 

    "The Conversations Continue"

    When conversations begin, something changes. When they continue — a real movement begins.

    The project "Ārpus Burbuļa: The Conversations Continue" is a youth participation initiative in which young people aged 13 to 25 carry forward what the previous project started — creating podcasts on socially important topics, sharing their experiences, and listening to others.

    This time, the focus is on health, well-being, and civic participation — three directions that help young people better understand themselves and influence the world around them.

    Through podcast conversations, young people ask questions to inspiring personalities from Latvia, creating an open dialogue between generations and perspectives. It is a way for young people's voices to become heard, seen, and truly meaningful.

    Project Closing Event — But Not the End of Conversations

    At this closing meeting, we took a moment to reflect on the journey we have taken together. We talked through what we experienced during the project, what we have learned, which voices were heard, and which thoughts have stayed with us long after the conversations ended.

    These were open, honest, and courageous conversations — about health, well-being, participation, and the ability to be present both for ourselves and for others.

    We listened to excerpts, shared our reflections, and realized: young people's voices truly matter when they are given space.

    This project reminded us that change begins with conversation — and continues through action.
    In the future, we aim to carry this forward: to create a safe space for dialogue, to inspire participation, and to empower young people to speak, listen, and make an impact.

    "Conversations continue" — because when conversations continue, movement begins.

    Thank you to all the young people, guests, supporters, and listeners who were part of this journey.

    This is the end of one phase — and the beginning of the next.
