Motivation

After ten years of studying, researching and working in the United Kingdom and completing a Master’s degree at one of England’s top universities, I began to look for ways in which I could use my ideas and knowledge to contribute to the growth of the much–needed Lithuania. During those ten years I have been researching issues related to climate change in urban contexts, community integration, tolerance and public engagement in the creation of urban spaces, and designing educational architectural buildings and installations.

This is why I am delighted to have been invited to join the Create for Lithuania programme, which I was so impressed with, to address the climate crisis, biodiversity and the quality of green spaces through the integration of green infrastructure principles in Lithuania!
