2026 08 20


The "Būtent!" Discussion Festival is a space for open conversations, diverse opinions and meaningful discussions. The European Migration Network (EMN) is also joining this initiative, as we believe that listening to different perspectives helps us better understand complex social processes and make informed decisions.

On 28 August at 5:00 PM, at Bernardine Garden (Bernardinų sodas), in the European Migration Network space, we invite you to a discussion entitled "How Many and What Kind of Migrants Does Lithuania Need?". We will discuss the role of labour migration in Lithuania's future, labour market needs, integration challenges, national security and the country's long-term interests.

Participants:

  • Laurynas Kasčiūnas
  • Vytautas Šilinskas
  • Dainius Žalimas
  • Virginijus Sinkevičius

The discussion will be moderated by LRT presenter Audra Avižiūtė and it will be held in Lithuanian.

We invite you to join us!
