On August 28 at 6:30 PM, we invite you to a discussion titled “Myths and Reality About Migration in Lithuania” at Bernardine Garden (Bernardinų sodas), in the European Migration Network space.

We will discuss how public perceptions of migration are shaped in the public sphere, what myths and stereotypes surround the topic, and to what extent they reflect reality. We will explore the most common claims, fears, and expectations related to migration, and what data and practical experience tell us about them.

Discussion participants:

• Aurelija Makauskienė
• Simona Bieliunė
• Vilūnė Kairienė
• Masroor Ahmad Qamar

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

Other discussions will also take place that day:

3:30 PM – “Destination Europe” An interactive simulation of migration policy.

5:00 PM – “How Many and What Kind of Migrants Does Lithuania Need?”
