Motivation

I have an innate desire to get to know the environment and people around me better. This quality lead me to working, studying and volunteering in several different European countries. I became acquainted with people, local customs, foreign languages, different education systems and gradually accumulated knowledge and experience.

Before going to live abroad for a longer time, I knew that one day I will come back to share gained experience in Lithuania. “Create Lithuania” is a great place to share knowledge and skills and to learn from others. In this program, I also see an opportunity to contribute to creating a more open, tolerant and democratic Lithuania. I am sure that the upcoming year will be productive and unique in this program!
