General Information
Charity and support foundation "Auginame ateitį" was established in 1999 and known as a foundation of wife of ex-President of Lithuania Valdas Adamkus. Last years Mrs. Alma Adamkienė resigned from the managment of foundation and left it to Tadas Bojarskas, who worked as project manager for 8 years. At this time there is only one permanent staff member in fund - managing director Paulius Juočeris, but founder of foundation is also heavily involved. Also we have rotating volunteers. We have a budget of €50-100k. a year, but are hoping to expand that due to big inheritance. We're funded by different companies and private donators. We also time from time apply for state support for specific project. Our main partners and targets of activity are 40 rural schools.
Mission and Objectives

- To make conditions for students in rural schools better. There are lots of talented students in rural schools which suffer from outdated infrastructure and equipment and lack of opportunirties to develop students' talents. Our goal is to help them to buld safer and modern environment and to give more opportunities for talented students to reach higher.
- Also in rural locations culture and worldview are quite limited and it causes all kinds lack of tolerance issues. One of our goals is to change that.
- We are looking forward to find more partners abroad, where education is highly rated and bring all good practice to our supported schools for more effective managment and educational methods.

Main Projects / Activities

"Step into new year with a new book" - donating new fiction books to school libraries. Most of rural schools cannot afford to buy new books, neither children parents. The books we donate are often the only ones kids can access. This project is going for 15 years and we have spent ~€1M
Leadership, business, art programmes - we choose talented students from rural school and bring them to the camp in capital or near sea, where they can work and study with best proffesionals in respective field. We see this opportunity not only as developing skills and get some actual practice for students, but also as a motivational time, where kids from distant locations can understant what they can achieve in the future.
Renovation of stadiums/sport halls - working hand to hand with "Coca-cola" we had significant part in reconstruction of infrastructure in 7 rural schools. Most of these stadium and sport halls are built and not renovated since 80's or even older times.
Wide scale educational games - our this year project to encourage students to read books. Big game on internet platform involving mistery story written by known fiction writter and students performing different task which could be acomplished only with consulting books.

The aims of the ALF Lithuanian Network, gathering 45 civil society organisations, are: 

  • To strengthen networking capacities, trust and cooperation between members by increasing involvement, participation and institutional support of/to members;
  • To become an institutionally recognised platform for those who would like to build cooperation with partners around the Mediterranean;
  • To work for an open and tolerant society based on the principles of democracy.

Through ALF initiatives, the Network has joined international projects with partners from Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, Denmark, Latvia and Czech Republic.

NGO Youth Centre Babilonas has been the Head of the ALF Lithuanian Network since 2021, and Rolanda Sliazene-West has been its coordinator since 2017 (re-elected in 2021).

The ALF Lithuanian Network members represented Lithuania at the ALF Forum in Barcelona and Malta, in the Conference for Women Kimiyya in Naples, in EuroMed Women for Dialogue Forum in Jordan in 2019, and in the ALF ToT in Cyprus in 2019.

The Network priorities are tacking the problems of civil society by looking for ways to solve them; funding opportunities for member organisations; and communication and cooperation inside and outside the ALF Lithuanian Network.

Historical Background of your Network

The Lithuanian Network of the ALF was established in 2010.

19 civil society organisations were either leaders or partners in transnational intercultural projects supported by the Anna Lindh Foundation.

Previous Heads of networks organisations were:

  • In Actio from 2010 till 2014.

  • Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists (LPK) from 2014 till Nov., 2017

  • NGO Diversity Development Group 2017 - 2021

  • NGO Youth Centre Babilonas - since 2021 - now

Rolanda Sliazene-West - coordinator for the Network since 2017  (elected every 3 years).

Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, Portugal, Ireland, Greece and the Czech Republic are the countries that the Lithuanian civil society organisations most partnered with through the Anna Lindh Grant Programme.

Five additional projects were mobilised by the ALF through the ‘1001 Actions for Dialogue’ campaign.

In 2009, the Lithuanian Head of Network organised a training seminar entitled ‘Lithuania in the Euro-Med Context’ in the framework of the Network Strategic Development Scheme common operations.

Five civil society organisations represented Lithuania at the Anna Lindh Forum 2010 held in Barcelona and 3 civil society organisations represented at the Anna Lindh Forum 2016 in Malta.

We had three participants from smaller cities for the project ‘Sea of Words’ initiated by the ALF. They created texts against stereotypes, radicalism and cruelty in the world.

In the summer of 2017, our members participated in the cross network project ‘Be Effective! Enhancing Intercultural Dialogue Media Skills in Central and Eastern Europe’. It was a very successful intercultural experience developing media skills and positive understanding through creativity.

Two participants from our Network organisations have participated in the conference for women Kimiyya in Naples in July 2017 (the coordinator of the Lithuanian network had been invited to become a board member of this conference and also participated in a preparation meeting of the event).

The Arabs Culture Days event in September 2017 in Vilnius was as a result of very concrete cooperation of network members: There were eight Lithuanian Network organisations who were arranging this five-days event. This event has become an example of good communication and visibility for the ALF in Lithuania.

Two participants of the network organizations participated in the EuroMed Women for Dialogue Forum in Amman, Jordan in 2019.

In November of 2019, two participants of the network participated in ALF Training for Trainers in Cyprus. After this training - joint project (2020) of networks from Lithuania, Portugal, Greece, Ireland and Tunisia creating the methodology of Intercultural learning for vulnerable groups of societies.

I am delighted with this opportunity to gain experience, improve competencies and learn from best practice,“ says Ms Bražiūnaitė.

The international programme that LiSBA representatives are participating in consists of three parts: visiting local social businesses, followed by the strengthening of personal and professional competencies and the institutional capacity of the organisation, and finally, generating joint project ideas together with a partner from Iceland.
