About the project

VšĮ „Apglėbk pasaulį“ is creating a safe, inclusive space for foreigners in Kaunas — a place where they can feel at home from the moment they arrive. We organise various cultural, educational, and social events free of charge for international students, volunteers, and newcomers. We believe that young people should be able to connect and integrate without financial barriers, so we never ask them to pay to join our activities.

What makes us unique

In Kaunas, we are the only organisation consistently offering non‑alcoholic and non‑smoking events for the international community. Our focus is on genuine connection, cultural exchange, and mutual respect — not nightlife or drinking culture. We welcome everyone equally, regardless of nationality, race, or religion. In our community, everyone is different, yet everyone belongs.

Our goals

• Promote cultural unity and understanding between Lithuanians and foreigners.

• Help newcomers feel connected to Kaunas so they can become active citizens, workers, and volunteers.

• Provide a safe, inclusive environment for young people to meet, share experiences, and learn from one another.

• Encourage language exchange — our events are in English, but participants often learn Lithuanian and other languages from each other.

Why we need your support

We want to keep our events free and accessible to all, but without city or corporate backing, it’s challenging to cover the costs of venues, materials, and activities. Your contribution will help us:

• Host regular cultural and community events.

• Expand our reach to more students, volunteers, and residents.

• Continue building a strong, welcoming international community in Kaunas.

Join us in making Kaunas a city where everyone feels at home — without barriers, without alcohol, and without prejudice.
