Last Lietuva³ discussion was devoted to fighting corruption, together with Sergejus Muravjovas, Birutė Davidonytė, and Rokas Masiulis, the moderator of the discussion Linas Sabaliauskas has come up with following recommendations: 1) more cooperation between socially responsible society and media, resulting in higher awareness and showcasing the problem and its negative consequences; 2) companies, especially those of public sector, should initiate actions internally, set measurable goals and thorough action plans, all of which should be clearly communicated throughout the organisation; 3) public companies should have independent officers, ensuring that all decisions are transparent; 4) salaries of the public servants should be increased as corruption often stems from a lack of income in the first place.

Julius Narkus, lawyer by education and mentor helping to scale health care startups in Silicon Valey by professional activity, represents young generation of curious and restless impression- and knowledge- seekers spread around the world and especially dense in the Bay Area of California. As lots of fun to be with, he brought to the selfie of the year of Lithuanias centenary the vibrant globals. Now it illustrates his theory on what defines countries.
“Brave girl with entrepreneurial mind Daina Slekys Trout has co-founded the Health Ade Kombucha brand and sells millions of jars with Lithuanian Vytis every month. The curious boy fond of reading Vladas Oleinikovas crushed Cambridge and is pursuing his chemistry PhD at University College of London and Yale, at the same time leading the World Lithuanian Youth Association to new heights. Self-starter Roberta Pocevičiūtė became more independent, graduated from MIT and is a life scientist in LA. Disciplined girl Rūta Meilutytė who liked swimming, became an Olympic and world champion, multiple WR holder.
Lithuania might be small. Lithuanian people, however, are big, ambitious, and brave. What defines countries? The people do.“
