Empowering LGBT Communities Through Informal Adult Education in Lithuania

This initiative aims to address the challenges faced by LGBT communities in Lithuania, including widespread homophobic attitudes and community passivity. By leveraging informal adult education techniques, the program focuses on empowering volunteers, enhancing communication and networking skills, and involving individuals in community action to cultivate active citizenship. It includes targeted publications for policymakers and the LGBT community, along with training workshops on advocacy, human rights, and health. Collaborations with media and the use of social networks further aid in disseminating vital information.
