Comments & Clarifications
The ‘Global Lithuania’ programme is implemented through an inter-agency action plan, which is updated annually. ‘Global Lithuania’ and its action plan aim to facilitate five main goals among the Lithuania diaspora: encourage the maintenance of Lithuanian identity, promote engagement in the life of Lithuania, support public diplomacy efforts, transform the ‘brain drain’ into ‘brain circulation’, and strengthen communication through innovative technologies.
