VšĮ „Atvira visuomenė ir jos draugai" (Open Society and its Friends)
Who we are
Founded
in 2005, Open Society and its Friends is a non-profit organization which aims
to spread liberal ideas and values, stimulate the growth of the open civil
society, extend and deepen democratic traditions, promote citizenship, and
strive for more private sector involvement in the public administration.
Apart
from the implementation of various projects and initiatives, we mainly aim to
provide an opportunity for other people and organizations to reach their mutual
goals together. Therefore, our organization is often a supporter of ideas and
initiatives' as well as a partner in projects. However, we always hold on to to
our goals and before we consider participating in any initiative, we ask
ourselves the following questions:
-
Will it spread the liberal ideas and values?
-
Will it
promote citizenship?
-
Will it strengthen a culture and consciousness of democracy?
-
Will it encourage public and political activity?
- Will it build up political intelligence?
What we do
The
organization is continuously involved in dispersing liberal ideas and their implementation.
With our goals in mind, we initiate research on important social, political and
public issues, create concepts for liberal reforms, organize conferences, discussions
and public lectures for society, carry out opinion polls, and finance the
publication of academic literature.
