Pēc skeitparka ierīkošanas Biržos tiks veicināta jauniešu aktivitāte, kā arī ciešākas attiecības ar ģimeni un vecāka gadagājuma cilvēkiem, jo jaunieši būs iedrošināti doties uz skeitparku ne tikai ar saviem vienaudžiem. Projekta aktivitāšu īstenošanā ietilpst trenēšanās/praktiskās aktivitātes un sporta svētki. Trenēšanās pasākumi mēģinās izveidot ciešāku saikni starp kopienām, motivēs un iedrošinās iedzīvotāju sociālo iesaistīšanos, akcentēs fizisko aktivitāšu sniegto labumu cilvēka veselībai, apkārtējās vides ietekmi uz cilvēka psiholoģisko komfortu, profilaktiskās lekcijas jaunatnei.

Expected Outputs (EN): New social spaces will be created by implementing the project: Biržai will have a new skate park and the sports hall of Nereta school will be reconstructed.
This project is oriented to a 1000 Biržai community people and 1,669 Nereta community people. There is a distance of 64 kilometre between these municipalities. Both of them can be categorized as deprived communities, which cannot fully ensure social inclusion of the population. Both have low levels of employment and a lack of social spaces. The income of the residents is relatively low, the residents cannot devote their funds for outdoor leisure activities, therefore mostly staying at home, thus further increasing the social exclusion, or engage with addictions.
