Description

Discover. Connect. Get Inspired.

The EngageWeek Fair is an interactive event designed to connect students and society with a wide variety of civil society organisations (CSOs) and initiatives working toward meaningful social change. Whether people are curious about volunteering, passionate about activism, or simply want to explore how to get involved - this is a great chance to engage with causes that matter.

Aimed at both international and Lithuanian individuals, the fair offers a relaxed, welcoming space where everyone can explore diverse organisations, ask questions, take part in small activities, and see how your their actions can contribute to a better world.

Organisations presenting at the fair include:

  • LiJOT / Žinau Viską – Youth engagement, education, and democratic rights
  • VU SR – Student advocacy and representation
  • ESN Lithuania – European democracy, international connections, and volunteering opportunities
  • LGL – LTBIQ+ rights and advocacy
  • Extinction Rebellion Lietuva – Environmental activism, climate justice, and education
  • No Labels Program – Education on non-binary and LGTBIQ+ identities, working toward social inclusion
  • ESN Vilnius University – Local volunteering, international student integration, and community impact

This event is all about interactivity and exploration - from meeting passionate changemakers to participating in creative tasks or relaxing in the chill-out area with a free snack or drink.

Leave with new ideas, connections, and maybe even a goodie or two. 🧡

There are free snacks and drinks throughout the fair, and participants who complete the interactive walking sheet can claim a small goodie (while supplies last)! 🧃🎁
