Solving a Challenge
Our goal is to address the weakening of national identity among Lithuanians abroad, which includes a detachment from Lithuania’s sovereignty, heritage, and language. This detachment endangers the continuity of our cultural traditions and the historical awareness of Lithuania’s struggle for independence.
