Youth work advocacy examples in Lithuania
The badge earner is familiar with how Lithuania is transforming youth work; for example, as of 2026, the new Youth Law provides the legal framework for youth work and youth workers.
The youth worker explored and familiarised themself with two youth work advocacy examples:
- The Zalianamis Open Youth Centre and the Lithuanian Association of Open Youth Centres provided information about the current state of youth work, its needs, and the latest developments in youth work recognition in Lithuania.
- A guest speaker with a wealth of advocacy experience shared his expertise and advice for successful advocacy through being in the leadership and management of several not-for-profit organisations and a former vice-minister at the Social Affairs and Labour Ministry (including Youth Affairs)
This badge recognises youth workers' competence development in the "Networking and Advocating" area.
