Motivation
Both during my psychology studies and different internships, I became convinced that the main goal driving me forward is creating a positive change. It doesn’t matter if the change is generated at the individual or societal level, it doesn’t matter if I contribute by responding to research, generating ideas, planning or implementing project goals – if I know it leads to the greater good, I’m full of enthusiasm to act. “Kurk Lietuvai” is exactly the program where innovative solutions are generated and positive change is created for the entire country.
