Among all Erasmus+ projects, BK-95 had the opportunity to go to the youth exchange Erasmus+ project “Digital Uplift” from April 10-19 in the beautiful seaside town of Kobuleti, Georgia. Young people from 6 countries participated in this mobility – 🇱🇻 Latvia, 🇬🇪 Georgia, 🇷🇴 Romania, 🇦🇲 Armenia, 🇳🇱 Netherlands, 🇬🇷 Greece. We gained new friends, new knowledge, experience and learned to cooperate in international teams in various project tasks, which were also the main goals of the project:

• Understand the importance of gaming and game-based learning, principles with non-formal education methods;
• Promote the involvement of young people in using digital games and creating activities;
• Strengthen cooperation within the EU and Erasmus+ programme;
• Expand knowledge about the culture, history and religion of other countries;
• Get to know young people of other nations and teach them to respect other people’s opinions.

The team of Latvia spent one day in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, where the participants got their first impressions of the local culture and food. To make the girls feel safe, the private security service – 10 dogs – accompanied them every step of the way.

Latvian representatives, like Swiss watches, always arrived first at all activities and actively participated in all tasks, shared their experience and opinion. Every morning was started with ice brakers and before each lesson the countries had prepared encouraging activities for the others. It must be admitted that the Latvian girls were the most energetic and active.

One day was devoted to a task of orientation in the city of Batumi. It turned out that the famous Caucasian Romeo and Juliet story about Ali and Nino is true.

Each evening was in the colors of a different country, presenting the culture of their country. Traditional songs, dances, musical instruments, and in between, something from traditional cuisine, drinks and snacks.

Participants did not forget to surprise Evita from the Latvian team with a big chocolate cake, who celebrated her birthday on the last day of the mobility.

BK-95 had the pleasure of representing Latvia together with young people from Limbazi, Valmiera, Smiltene, Riga and Jelgava: Inga Zaļupe, Rēzija Špone, Elīna Kristiņa, Evita Ozola, Viktorija Beļikova and Alise Saule.
