New East is a non-governmental organization which was founded in 2016 in Daugavpils, Latvia to work for new education, engaged citizens and positive change. Our main priorities are the development and access to new education in Eastern Europe, the promotion of public participation and positive change that helps develop the cultural landscape of the region. The organization's work extends beyond the region and the country, developing four areas - non-governmental culture, non-formal education, media space and community engagement programs.
We work on an educational program for positive changes in the Eastern Europe cultural space.
The program is based on the formation of new values, non-formal learning opportunities and the presentation of successful examples of development. New East is a non-state cultural and educational program based on an interdisciplinary approach to solving local problems, involving the potential of residents to adapt the cultural code of the environment. This is an opportunity for the development of human capital and the creative environment. Our projects are aimed at developing media literacy, critical thinking, creative industries, integration processes and a non-governmental cultural environment.
