“The voice of youth can make a change.”
Gabija, 18, lives in Vilnius, Lithuania. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, she had just started upper secondary school, and the sudden shift to remote learning left her longing for the company of her classmates and teachers. She found it hard to stay motivated. And just when things were starting to get better, the outbreak of the Ukraine war brought a new wave of worry and uncertainty to Lithuanian society.
Gabija believes that the voice of youth can change a lot, so she hopes that their voice can be taken more seriously in the future.
