VšĮ Anglų Kalbos Studija

AKS (VšĮ Anglų kalbos studija) is a Lithuania-based youth NGO with over 17 years of experience working with young people through non-formal education, international mobility, inclusion-focused youth work, and intercultural learning. Originally founded in language education, AKS has evolved into a broader youth organisation focused on empowering young people through experiential learning, communication, creativity, personal development, and international cooperation. We work extensively with teenagers and young people, including those with fewer opportunities, from smaller communities, socially or economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and young people who may face barriers to participation in international programmes. Inclusion, emotional safety, belonging, and meaningful participation are central to our practice. AKS has a strong interest and practical experience in creating safer and inclusive spaces for diverse young people, including LGBTQ+ youth, young people navigating identity-related challenges, and participants who may not always feel represented or fully included in mainstream educational environments. Our methodologies include: * non-formal education, * experiential and reflection-based learning, * intercultural dialogue, * communication and confidence-building activities, * creative workshops and storytelling, * debates and critical thinking activities, * outdoor and nature-based learning, * team-building and participant-led activities. Our Erasmus+ interests include: * KA152 youth exchanges * KA153 youth worker mobility, training courses, study visits, and partnership building * youth participation and active citizenship * inclusion and wellbeing * LGBTQ+ inclusion and safe spaces * intercultural dialogue and European citizenship * creativity, communication, and youth empowerment * rural youth engagement * long-term strategic partnerships We are open to both sending and hosting partnerships and value reliable, practical, high-quality international cooperation with organisations committed to meaningful youth work and real impact for young people.
