A History of Lithuanian Writers in the United Kingdom 2022

We created a project, “Written Lithuanians Heritage in the UK”, to raise awareness of humanitarian causes and bring together people from different backgrounds, sharing Lithuanian culture, beliefs, and traditions.

Over several years in the West Midlands, we have discovered that communities are living in a multicultural society; at the same time, each community is not open to the others and holds many different perspectives on one another. There, it is an actual opportunity for all cultures to come together and introduce themselves, educate, and explain Culture and traditions. 

To be aware of the History and influence within the cultures. To learn and integrate in the UK and live with respect and dignity together. This will be a great opportunity to learn and acknowledge similarities and differences between communities.

Cultural heritage implies a shared bond, our belonging to a community. The protection of cultural property is an old problem. Cultural heritage passed down to us from our parents must be preserved for the benefit of all. Writing and reading are primarily solitary pursuits. We invite everyone who values arts and culture to explore the written word. And we support the vibrancy and diversity of the Lithuanian writers in the UK artistic culture. We believe that writing empowers greater understanding of self and others and thereby encourages compassion and empathy in our society.
