ABOUT THE PROJECT
The #PolandLithuania: Together for Europe initiative aims to launch an engaging social
media campaign, the main goal of which is to raise awareness about cooperation and key
anniversaries of Poland and Lithuania accession to the EU and NATO. In current times,
when Europe’s security is threatened by the aggressive actions of the Russian Federation,
as seen in the invasion of Ukraine, this initiative highlights the importance of solidarity and
cooperation within these organizations as the foundation for peaceful and stable
development of the continent. The project plans a seven-day activity where youth from
Poland and Lithuania will come together to create content for the campaign. The agenda
includes workshops on history, culture, benefits of EU and NATO membership, and creating
online content, video editing, and production. These efforts will focus on fostering a positive
image of both nations and enhancing awareness of the significance of European and
transatlantic cooperation.
EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT
The project also aims to increase awareness of the importance of Polish-Lithuanian
cooperation and the anniversaries of joining the EU and NATO, which are crucial for the
security and stability of Europe. The media campaign, which is at the heart of the project,
focuses on promoting the shared historical and cultural heritage, emphasizing the
significance of European and transatlantic cooperation in the face of contemporary
geopolitical challenges. Additionally, the initiative seeks to promote the intangible cultural
