GLL Think & Do Tank

You are here: Home / GLL Think & Do Tank

In response to rapid global changes, GLL established a GLL THINK & DO TANK. It connects global Lithuanian professionals with the Lithuanian public and private sector into task forces to address various issues and reap the benefits of global experiences available within the GLL network.

The initiative is part of the “Ecosystem for the Civic Activation of Professional Diaspora” project, which is a part of the Active Citizens Fund financed by the EEA Grants 2014-2021.

Task Force #GLL4Ukraine

The campaign supports Ukraine and urges companies, governments, and creative and academic industries to stop business with Russia. To achieve its mission, the campaign:

  • Advises global businesses on the risks of operating in Russia and the long-term implications of feeding its war machine.
  • Draws the attention of western voters and political leaders to the critical need to ensure the energy independence of their nations
  • Rises the awareness of western audiences of Russian mentality, history, etc. by sharing our knowledge of Russo-realism. 

Find ways to engage HERE.
