'Creating Latvia' youth camps

Iniciatīva "Radām Latviju" ir Latviešu kopienu asociācijas Apvienotajā Karalistē un biedrības "Jaunatnes līderu koalīcija" Latvijā 2022.gadā aizsākta iniciatīva. Iniciatīvas "Radām Latviju!" mērķis ir vienuviet dokumentēt dažādu Latvijas diasporas pasaulē pasākumu dalībnieku radošos darbus tematikā, kas saistās ar Latvisko dzīvesziņu, latviskumu mūsos un apkārt, neatkarīgi no tā, kurā pasaules malā mēs esam. Mēs ticam, ka mēs ikkatrs esam tie, kas Rada Latviju! Kopā! Vairāk info nometnes mājas lapā - http://www.radamlatviju.lv/

Immersive women's camps

Šīs trīs dienu nometnes ir veltītas sieviešu mentālās labklājības stiprināšanai ar moto “Drosme būt pašai.” Tās nodrošina drošu un ieskaujošu vidi pašrefleksijai, emocionālai dziedināšanai un personīgai izaugsmei, piedāvājot īpaši pielāgotas aktivitātes un darbnīcas, piemēram, dažādas terapijas (skaņas, mākslas, Helingera metodes, deju u.c.), radošās nodarbības un fiziskās aktivitātes. Pēdējā šajā transformējošajā pasākumā piedalījās 48 sievietes.

Floristic classes

This was another form of our wellbeing sessions. It was wonderful to see beautiful floral creations getting made in a friendly and supportive environment with an enthusiastic teacher.

Healthy living classes

We learnt about the importance of nutrition and how to make different healthy foods from a variety of cultures, the sushi masterclass, for example, was a big hit and very educational!

Arts sessions

We love to get creative in many different forms. Be it helping to put together an exhibition, having a go at a literature class or exploring different art styles and learning about great Latvian artists. Many of the classes are taking place online.

Corporate Events

Family days

One of our strongest values is strong families. We organise different family friendly events, such as outdoor activities, excursions and concerts. We are also here to support the most needy families and make sure they have access to proper education, healthcare and opportunities to take part in activities.

Youth events

We believe that our youth is our future with their bright and creative ideas. We aim to create a safe space for youth to express themselves and get any support needed, especially young girls. We have created international events, where Latvian youths in the UK work on  cultural projects with the youths in Latvia. We're also organising cultural and language immersion camps for children and young people.

Concerts

Being a musical nation, we love organising musical events. We recognise many local talents and give them the opportunity to grow and practice their skill on our stages. We also like to invite popular guest musicians - local and from Latvia itself.

Every now and then we like to get together for some active family fun outdoors!
