It is planned that participants will arrange not less than 5 sports kinds - like basketball, football, volleyball, etc. and it will be involved not less than 200 youth from Marijampole region in activities and no less than 100 spectators. The group will decide whether to make this event in Marijampole town or in smaller countryside in the region, having the necessary sports infrastructure. It is planned to involve less physically active sports - chess or other in order to involve youth, that have less abilities. All participants will receive the Diplomas and Certificates of Participation. Youth will also actively organise and take part in different every day sports and learning activities organised by themselves and advised by social entrepreunership, fund rising experts, when needed. We will put much attention to cultural evenings, every day reflections. This is in order to show and feel, that every participant is equally important, is involved and listened to.
