Project participants will have an opportunity to absorb the knowledge better and faster because all activities are related with practice. Also, applicants will have to indicate their expectations. The main activities during Project are based on creativity, however, youth will have the main goal – to create and build the performance (the spectacle) which will be publicly presented to the residents and guests of Druskininkai. In order to create unique play daily rehearsals are planned. Also, various techniques, methods, tasks and exercises are included in the program to develop and educate young people skills. Throughout the project, participants will learn and be able to use such techniques as stress management, creativity development and improvisation, ability to get away from unexpected situations, to work in a team and achieve common result.
