Volunteers of the Rokiškis District Local Action Group suggested that the monuments of the district, which were fighting for freedom, be merged into one route for "Savas Rokiškis" and the Rokiškis Regional Museum. The route was tested in 2016, when in June. The 75th anniversary of mass deportations was commemorated in Lithuania. Residents of the district of different ages were then invited to travel to places reminiscent of freedom struggles. They supported the idea that such a route is necessary and meaningful not only during memorable days, but constantly operating. Then a project idea arose to use the district gymnasium to create a route.

Thus, at the end of September - beginning of October, the project is being implemented at full capacity, when the teams of five Rokiškis district gymnasiums, accompanied by the museologist Valius Kazlauskas, toured Rokiškis district, various areas located in the XX. a. monuments reminiscent of Lithuanian freedom struggles - 12 objects - monuments, bunkers, museums, which testify to the persistent resistance of the people of Rokiškis region to the occupation. Teams of gymnasium students are formed from young people who like to write historical essays, take photos or have good Lithuanian / English speaking skills.

After touring the objects, the gymnasium students of all Rokiškis district gymnasiums participating in the project "I want to testify” positively assessed the 6-hour 130 km of Lithuania in the 20th century. the route of freedom struggles around Rokiškis district. Of the 55 who submitted the completed anonymous questionnaires, 50 answered positively to the question of whether they liked it, 5 indicated that it was mediocre. Many respondents 49 also indicated that they would recommend the route to an acquaintance. However, it is interesting that many project participants do not believe that a person's guide can be replaced by an electronic guide - the votes were distributed as follows: could change - 18, doubt - 22, could not change - 15. Gymnasium students also made some comments on how to improve the trip: pay up to 5 Eur; several respondents single remarks to the organizers: too long staying at some objects and therefore rushing to visit others; fatigue due to excessive flow of information and a proposal to split the route into two parts or reduce the number of points of interest.

The project is carried out by "Savas Rokiškis" together with Rokiškis district gymnasiums.
