The main goal of the project – to recall recent historical past of the Baltic countries in order to foster consciousness in youth society and create strong inner assumptions for the peaceful future. Project will invite young generation of different nationalities, among them Russians, of Baltic countries to reflect common history of communist regime in Baltic States (BS) by exploring EU values, opening 10 years perspective from the painful past in USSR towards harmonious EU future.

"Europe for Citizens" starptautiskais projekts «Fragile Thread: Baltic Story for Peaceful Future (FRAT)»

      No 2014.g. 6. oktobra līdz 9. oktobrim Rīgas 25. vidusskolas 10. un 11. klases skolēni piedalījās "Europe for Citizens" starptautiskā projekta «Fragile Thread: Baltic Story for Peaceful Future (FRAT)»izbraukuma aktivitātēs Lietuvas pilsētā Kauņā.      

      Latviju pārstāvēja divas skolas: Rīgas 89. vidusskola un Rīgas 25. vidusskola. Projekta pirmajās sesijās „Norobežotā pagātne pret stabilo nākotni” dalībnieki no Lietuvas, Igaunijas un Latvijas pārrunāja jautājumus, kuri ir saistīti ar vēstures Padomju laika posmu, dalījās savās atmiņās par to laiku, kad viņi dzīvoja, kad un kā dzīvoja viņu vecāki un vecvecāki.

       Interaktīvajās stundās kopīgi tika pētīta pārdzīvotā vēsture. Teatrālie uzvedumi, sarunas un citas aktivitātes kļuva par dialoga un problēmas izpratnes instrumentu.

       Mums bija iespēja gan aktīvi un interesanti pavadīt laiku, gan atpūsties skaistā un gleznainā vietā netālu no Kauņas pilsētas.
