\u201cBoldly with Respect\u201d: Vilnius Invites People to Meet, Talk, and Build Safety Through Connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

On June 3, an open event titled \u201cBoldly with Respect\u201d will take place in Vilnius, inviting city residents and visitors to meet, talk, and together search for answers to questions that are important today both for young people and for those who work with or raise them.<\/p>\n

This is more than a one-day event \u2013 it is a space where different experiences, generations, and perspectives come together. Such meetings are part of long-term, everyday work with young people and communities. The organizers emphasize that the focus of this gathering is not only talking about young people, but also genuinely being with them in the same space \u2013 sharing everyday life, questions, and experiences together. The young people involved are not merely participants or \u201cservice users,\u201d but active co-creators of the event itself. For others, this is an opportunity to step outside their usual circles: for young people, into an open city gathering; and for adults, into listening, dialogue, and shared experience, becoming part of city life and collectively creating a sense of community.<\/p>\n

\u201cVilnius Social Club began its activities in 2013 through volunteer work with one closed group of children. Today, the organization operates throughout the city and district of Vilnius. We aim to stay close to young people and communities, and through our daily work contribute to building stronger relationships, strengthening democratic processes, and representing the voices of young people. Public safety matters deeply to us, and we believe that alongside all institutional measures and services, another essential element is needed \u2013 human connection, which we can create ourselves.<\/p>\n

We have worked with teenagers and young people for many years. They are often at the forefront of societal change. By staying close to them, we can see where we are heading or recognize what we may already have overlooked. Young people challenge us adults to continuously search for new ways to adapt and find new answers to questions that concern us all. It is important not only to control young people or place demands on them, but also to create spaces where all of us can meet and act together.\u201d
\n\u2013 Cedric Raffier, Head of Vilnius Social Club<\/p>\n

The event is organized by Vilnius Social Club, and its goal is to highlight the importance of human connection as a foundation for building a safer and more resilient society.<\/p>\n
