Co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, the project has connected organisations in Lithuania, Ireland, Italy and Latvia over the past 18 months, exploring how storytelling and digital media can support young people, particularly in rural communities, to build confidence, develop skills, and express their voice and identity .

The conference created space to share the project’s results and practical approaches, with sessions from all partners covering local heritage, digital tools, inclusion, and youth engagement. We were also honoured to welcome Donalda Meiželytė, whose contribution highlighted the importance of supporting young people through creative and community-based initiatives.

Key project outputs were presented, including the Digital Story Guide for Youth and the Methodology & Activity Guide for Youth Workers, practical resources designed to support youth workers, educators and organisations to continue this work in their own contexts.

The conference also brought together a wide range of perspectives through discussion and exchange, exploring how digital storytelling can support youth employability, participation and opportunity across different settings.

A significant moment in the project’s journey, and a strong foundation for how this work can continue and grow across communities.
