Stories Weave | Training Programme in Latvia 
At its heart, the project recognizes that queer young people’s lives are made of many intersecting threads, identities, struggles, joys, and dreams. Storytelling and stories themselves offer a way to honor those threads and weave them together into a fabric of belonging, empowerment, and community strength. Each story is important on its own, but it is even more powerful when woven together with others.
This is our 2nd edition of the programme which invites you to explore how you can use storytelling as a tool to increase the quality of your youth work and working with queer youth.
We want to give shape to empowering narratives, thus we will create spaces and experiences to express and acknowledge stories that
- need to be told and heard,
- celebrate queer joy and diversity,
- acknowledge humanity as a common trait,
- empower to face obstacles and generate accountability,
- inspire to act and choose empathy, 
- guide us into overcoming pain, and foster inclusion.
This programme is for you if you are:
- 20+ years old, LGBTQIA+/Queer or an ally to the community coming from intersectional backgrounds and you are interested to expand your competencies in the topics and tools
- a youth worker, youth leader, activist, mentor, NGO staff member, - who work or have some experience working with LGBTQIA+/queer youth - thus you have basic knowledge and understanding of queer related terminology.
- Motivated and willing to actively participate during the whole duration of the project and all its phases.
