Motivation

I am from Ukraine, but part of my family has Lithuanian roots. Therefore Lithuania for me is much more than a place to escape from the War. Every year, coming to Vilnius, I dreamed that one day I would have the opportunity to work and live in this beautiful city. Thanks to “Kurk Lietuvai” I have this tremendous opportunity to participate in creating evidence–based policy–making solutions for Lithuania and Ukraine.

The deepening of cooperation between Lithuania and Ukraine can contribute to the investment development of both countries. That’s why I would like to contribute my academic knowledge and practical skills in dealing with the defence of clients, problem solving, using professional judgment, working effectively in a team, and working independently and for the result (not just for the process), which I have gained from my legal experiences. This Program inspires development and movement.
