We are happy to see a spin off of our voluntary program Academic Buddy – Prime Learning – turn into a viable business. Jonas Kavaliauskas, Paulius Ašvydis and Nikita Pajanok – students at Yale and Cambridge Universities – are developing a new generation college consulting platform. With a solid track record of helping talented and hard-working Lithuanian youth get into places like Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge and other top schools in the US and the UK, they have banded together some of the brightest Lithuanian talent in order to pass on a wealth of knowledge on how to hack prepping for the SATs, ACTs, IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge Assessment and other standardised tests, excel in interviews, secure generous financial aid packages and more. On top of that, with a team well-versed in machine learning, they're adding technology to the mix by building a program to design better tests, grade them, and provide tailored feedback, aid students in college essay and cover letter writing – basically, optimize the learning process. Check them out at www.primelearning.co!

Many of 100 companies advised have described the experience as time- and money-saving shortcuts to high-level expertise and key contacts.
The results of these matches have ranged from one to two consultations and business connections to long-term business relationships.

Lithuania elected the new President Gitanas Nauseda as well as reached the new record of voting activity among Lithuanian diaspora. The number has reached 62,5 thousand which makes it three times higher than in the Parliament elections of 2016.
This record was reached most of all by the consistent efforts of the initiative DABAR which has been very active for the last 4 years engaging global Lithuanians into the political life of Lithuania and ensuring they believe in their value and impact.
