We build resilient systems, organisations and communities. Through innovative solutions we empower individuals and groups to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.
A resilient community is not a new phenomenon or model — it is deeply rooted in our collective memory and intuitively understood by everyone. Yet modern and postmodern culture has created many artificial networks: corporate structures, markets, institutions and online platforms. While these networks provide connection, they often lack authentic relationships. They let us communicate, but can foster loneliness. To live a meaningful and purposeful life, we must nurture deep bonds with ourselves, our family and our community.
We work quietly but consistently — our experience is best reflected in the children, teachers and leaders we helped grow.
We are not the same as in 2011. Each decade brought its own challenge and its own method.
We took a leading role in developing the legal, financial and ecosystem mechanisms this sector needed. Our experts trained more than 300 NGOs and advised Lithuanian government institutions, the OECD and the European Commission on the development of social business in Lithuania.
We provided training, research and consultations to more than 100 schools. These initiatives led to learning groups that improve mental health support for students and teachers and foster inclusion regardless of children’s cultural background, needs or abilities.
Combining different methods, we created an agreement process for conflicting interest groups to reach strategic, system-changing agreements. One of the biggest achievements — the “National Agreement on the Future of Forests” with 700 participants from 17 stakeholder groups across 150 events. Approved by the Seimas, it became the foundational document for new forest policy legislation.
We helped relocate and house the entire community of a Kharkiv school. We founded three co-living communities for Ukrainians, opened the “Gravitas Schola” school for refugee children and initiated the nationwide family integration programme “LT+UA = TULA”, which provided economic, social and cultural integration services to more than 2,000 Ukrainians.
We created a unique community resilience programme, “Re:silientica”, which reached and supported 600 Ukrainians.
We initiate and coordinate social impact projects in response to emerging challenges.
Social and emotional integration of Ukrainian refugees — gatherings and education for Lithuanian and Ukrainian families. The project is implemented by the NGO “Atviros tautos”.
An international project with partners from Lithuania, Estonia and Italy, developing an online tool and platform for assessing school culture and an environment that supports mental health. Erasmus+ strategic partnership programme.
Research, consultancy and training for schools on building a culture favourable to mental health. The national conception of mental-health-friendly schools was created in partnership with Klaipėda University. We bring the Trauma Informed Schools UK methodology to Lithuanian educators — together with local municipalities and the Ministry of Health.
Creating inclusive and emotionally supportive environments in children’s day care centres.
A social and emotional competence learning programme for school children, based on myths, art, theatre, dance and a trauma-sensitive approach. The programme prevents bullying, supports collaboration and builds a culture of mutual support.
An international multistakeholder conference on inclusive education and mental health.
Design and facilitation of nationwide strategic sessions based on the “Future Search” methodology — the National Agreement on the Future of Health Care and the National Agreement on the Future of Forests.
A private, free and open school for children fleeing war, regimes and hardship.
Practitioners in Norway, UK, USA, the Netherlands and Ukraine.
