Today it seems likely that Alytus will become a southern center of Lithuania in many various fields not only in theory but also in practice. We can reach such purpose sooner if we plan our every step attentively.

The PIPE project involved a lot of young people into discussions about Alytus. However, due to the busyness (connected with being the school-leavers), our group consists of three members currently - Marijus, Mindaugas and Vytautas.  (http://ligoniz.puslapiai.lt/Medvilne/LT/kontaktai.htm) We have participated in many different workgroups by far and we can truly say we're lucky. This time we focus on both the architectural and cultural fields.

Currently, there are a lot of unused buildings that destroys the image of Alytus. They have been standing unexploited for about 10 years. Going through industrial area of the city shapes your view even worse. Therefore,Alytus Youth Center project aims to develop the image of the city.

Collaborating with the past administration of the building we got plenty of impressions and photos of both the inside and outside. With that came many ideas above all how to reactivate it. It is a pity that this well-planned, quite well-equipped building with a wide assortment of potential activities is still "dead". We persuaded that it perfectly suits for the Youth Center; all is needed is rehabilitation.

We created the website of our project to show people how many opportunities we have. To browse it simply click here: http://ayc.lietuvoje.info

It is loaded with many photos for you to get as much believable impression as possible. Alytus Youth Center project will be presented to Alytus Municipality. We hope the authority will evaluate it and make the best solution.

To involve more people, we inserted a forum wherein your opinions and proposals are awaited.

More than one is better than one, isn't it? :)

Even if this project is a drop in the ocean, we think that this drop is quite big.

We do believe that it would really help the town image to improve! Besides, it would increase the cultural level locally.
