On November 8, 2024, ADICE members had the opportunity to gather in Vilnius, Lithuania, with the other members of the Digital Wise project for the project's final event: The Youth Forum. Young individuals aged 16-30, youth workers, educators, municipal representatives, and policymakers from Lithuania, France, Poland, Italy and Türkiye came together to address pressing challenges related to digital literacy and inclusion.

Study visit of the Lituanian Parliament

Participants were given a guided tour of the Lithuanian Parliament by Tomas Vytautas Raskevičius, a former member of parliament. They had the opportunity to understand the Lithuanian  parliamentary system, and discuss the differences that may exist between their countries.

Discussions during the visit revolved around the democratic and civic participation of young people. Participants were able to highlight the ways in which young people participate in their country.
