☀️ Blessed to spend summer in a true natural treasure – the Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Golden sands, whispering pine forests, and sunsets that paint the sky in colors you won’t find on any palette. 🌅💚

To mark Ukraine's National Day at Expo 2025 Osaka, Lithuania and Latvia 🇱🇹🇱🇻 hosted "A Thousand Cranes for Ukraine." Visitors folded 1,000 origami cranes in the colors of the Ukrainian flag 💙💛 as a gesture of solidarity.

In Japanese culture 🇯🇵, cranes symbolize peace and longevity. The tradition of folding a thousand cranes, known as Senbazuru, is said to grant a wish for harmony and health.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us in this beautiful gesture! 🙏

What if we told you there’s a real Portal in Vilnius?
No, not sci-fi — real life! 🌍👀

Right in Vilnius Town Hall Square, a real-life Portal streams live to Dublin, Lublin, and Philadelphia — letting you wave to people across the globe in real time.

And this autumn, Ipswich (UK) joins the network — becoming the first UK city with a Portal, live from historic Cornhill.

These sci-fi-like sculptures aren’t just tech — they’re symbols of peace, unity, and shared humanity.

🌐 No sound. No borders. Just connection.

Unstoppable! 🇱🇹🔥

Lithuania's breakdance queen Dominika Banevič – Bgirl Nicka – has DONE IT AGAIN! 🏆
She just claimed her third straight victory at the world-renowned "The Legits Blast" tournament in Slovakia – one of the biggest stages in global breakdance!

In the final showdown, Nicka outshined France’s Bgirl Kimie and defended her champion title like a true legend. 💪 But the road wasn’t easy – she had to take down Russia’s Bgirl Masha Uragan on her way to the top. Respect! 🙌

🥇 2021

🥇 2024
🥇 2025 – another golden year!

Among 175 top dancers from around the

Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis created his entire body of work in just six years.

From 1903 to 1909, he produced over 300 paintings, orchestral masterpieces, and literary works, blending music, art, and symbolism into a style that was utterly unique and ahead of its time.

His paintings — dreamlike, cosmic, and deeply spiritual — are celebrated for their innovative fusion of sound and image, placing him among the early visionaries of modern art.

A lifetime of brilliance — in only six years.
Proof that impact isn’t about time — it’s about depth.

In the picture: Sonata No. 6 (Sonata of the Stars). Andante.

Some countries have oil — but Lithuania has water. 💧

Beneath its forests and fields lies something just as vital: a vast network of deep underground aquifers that supply nearly all of Lithuania’s drinking water.

Unlike most of Europe, which relies on rivers and lakes, Lithuania draws its water from clean, mineral-rich sources up to 300 meters deep. The result?

✅ Naturally pure
✅ Minimal chemical treatment
✅ Resilient and reliable year-round

🌍 Only one other EU country — Denmark — comes close to this level of groundwater dependence. But Lithuania’s water often comes from deeper and cleaner aquifers, making it a truly unique and sustainable national asset.
