Darbo Birža (Labor Exchange)

In Friday at 4th of April we were going at Darbo Birža (Labor Exchange). We was inviting by Tomas (leader of lockal Youth Center). He is a curator of one project in Birža for young unemployed people. The main idea of Tomasa's project is tell to young people about volunteering and EVS and also involve them in this structure.
It was only 4 young people at this meeting. And firstly I was a little bit shoked about it. But Tomas said us (we were together with Martin) don't worry about this sad thing because it's normal in nowadays that young people don't want doing nothing. All of them sitting at home and government gives them unemployment benefits.
We shared with young people our expiriense of volunteering especially EVS, why we desided choose our projects, left our hometowns and came here in Lithuania in so small town Zarasai.
For me it was wery interesting experience to try to convince and motivate new people. I have never saw all of them before. And I hope that I managed to get them interested.
