How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

"Teatriukas" institution could be partner in cultural, educational, social projects, dedicated to children and families. We also have some ideas for actvities and work in minority centers and refugees center in Lithuania.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

 We see it is still problems in Lithuanian schools related with bullying, we travel around Lithuania alot, we see lack of open society, also big difference between city and rural region for culture accessibility for children and young families. "Teatriukas" always looking for possibilites to implement creative ideas, to be helpful to the society. And we believe arts could  contribute to reduce these problems. We want to be partners in the Anna Lindh Foundation and to contribut to solving these and other problems in our acting field.
