History

The non–profit organisation “Radi Vidi Pats” was founded on 4th of July 2005 with the goal to create and implement high-quality activities for people from Liepaja and Kurzeme. At a time when a large part of the opportunities were centered in Riga, “Radi Vidi Pats” activists with their own initiatives, involvement in international projects and fundraising created the conditions, which encouraged local young people to realise their ideas, grow, experience and invest this experience back in their local community.

The organisation of camps and training has been implemented since 2006.
