General Information

Currently my main focus is video work. I am offering video filming and editing services to any customers in Lithuania and abroad. My main education is master degree of electronics. I have worked in electronics for about 8 years in England, Guildford. But most of my life I was and partly still am interested in non-formal education, particularly soft skills (personal and social development), Since I was 6 years old I was attending children camps, then youth camps, and later on I participated in many international trainings. Most of them on personal development subject. More about this you can read at www.oldevechte.com This is where my deep personal development journey started. Today I still have a vision of doing something about education in Lithuania. But first step would be documentary movie about soft skills importance in formal education.

Mission and Objectives

At the moment I don't do any organization work. I used to be part of NGO Synergy LT, where we organized personal development trainings in Lithuania and in Europe with partners from other countries. For now I sometimes deliver training program if I am asked.

Main Projects / Activities

At the moment my main focus is to create documentary movie about non-formal education, soft skills development, emotion intelligence, etc. I see it as a first step to bring awareness about how important is to engage kinds from early days to learn self reflection, learning from experience, cooperating, managing conflicts, finding their inspiration, developing emotional intelligence, accepting different believes, etc. There and many other topics are many times talked about outside the schools and formal school doors. But inside it is the place where kinds spend most of their time while passing from kid, to teenager and moving towards adults. But only so little they have to take from that institution called School. I realized it when I attended my firs personal development training in 2003 in The Netherlands. Then I understood how much I missed over those school years. I did not gain any true life skill I was needed when I lest school, or even when I was still growing up. Today there are may non format activities, but they are still outside the school time, and when kinds already are tired from the lessons of the daytime.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

I can deliver personal or organization trainings on various topics. My most favorite is communication, with includes as well conflict management. But there are many more, such as creativity, taking responsibility, team work, As videographer I do run video filming and editing course alive and I have online programs ass well. I could deliver training on video literacy :) Meaning I can teach how to shoot good looking videos on the phone, or professional camera. How to master basic settings on the phone video camera and get most out of it. As well how to edit videos with free available apps Cap Cut on the mobile device or computer. Or how to event edit and create video with professional editing software Adobe Premiere Pro. I would consider some of this program running to members of the network free of charge as my contribution. Or offer significant discount to wider programs. As well I would offer affordable prices for video service to network organizations to promote their activities. As well I could film and create short video for our network events in Lithuania free of charge.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

When I learn that this Network unites like minded people and organizations, who cares about society development, I realized this is the people I want to be surrounded and maybe this ways I will find more team members to start sooner my own ideas about education. Or maybe ever receive some partly funds for this education project. I own domain www.ugdymas.lt and Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ugdymas. This is the the platform where I want to spread good practice about non formal education and inspire more and more people to follow and start getting involved or at least support this idea, so one day it becomes part on formal education program with many lessons / workshops where kinds learns not only hard skills, like math, languages, nature science, history, but as well many life, personal, social skill they need in order to become more brave, loving, caring, creating, sharing and cooperating person.
