Motivation
As a journalist, I felt a great sense of responsibility and pleasure in telling the story of the problems facing society. I would listen carefully to all the stories and then try to tell them in a way that was as interesting as possible to the rest of the population. In this way, I got to know many of Lithuania’s joys and sorrows. Finally, while studying Diplomacy and Foreign Policy in the UK, I realised that I wanted to come back and tell people’s stories. Only this time it’s in the framework of Create Lithuania, because this project inspires the country and really creates a different Lithuania. It’s good to be part of it.
