Youth Exchanges during Covid
Due to the uncertain Covid situation, we ask all participants to come to the venue with a valid vaccination or with a negative test taken in the 48h prior to reaching Riga. We are following the current restrictions and we will make the maximum effort to meet them and make the project as safe and comfortable as possible.
Thank you

Our home - Rites
As they say - Rites is a place where magic happens
The training site of Piedzīvojuma Gars is a beloved place for endless creativity. It is located in a beautiful remote area with just a few neighboring houses around, and forest right at our front door.
We will be living together in a close shared space on the 2nd floor of the house, taking care of the environment and each other by contributing to daily household tasks.
​
Or maybe we will just put up 25 hammocks up in the trees and sleep there. Or live on the TreeHouse platform? Everything is allowed.
​
Everything except alcohol and drugs, which is a strict policy of the training site, and the specific safety rules of the training course.
​
Be prepared for a very limited Wi-Fi.
