LPO Projects: Empowering Our Community and Beyond
In essence, Lithuanian Professionals in Oslo doesn’t just connect professionals; it also empowers them to collaborate on meaningful projects that can have a lasting impact, whether in the professional sphere or the broader community.
1. Philanthropy
Our Core Focus:
Education has the power to transform lives. As professionals, we recognize the importance of quality education in achieving our goals. That’s why LPO has chosen to support Nacionalinė moksleivių akademija (The National Student Academy), an institution providing exceptional educational opportunities to talented and very dedicated children across Lithuania. This initiative helps bridge the gap between regional and metropolitan education, ensuring that talented students from all backgrounds have access to advanced learning.
Why We Do Charity:
LPO is deeply committed to investing in the youth of Lithuania, nurturing the next generation of leaders and innovators. Our philanthropic initiative supports The National Student Academy, a vital institution for developing young minds. LPO has allocated 30% of membership fees and fundraising efforts to focus on education and the advancement of Lithuanian youth.
We are also proud to announce the success of our recent charity initiative, which raised an additional 16,100 NOK. These funds allowed more children to participate in a summer camp, providing them with valuable learning experiences and personal growth opportunities.
2. LT Big Brother Mentorship Program
Our Core Focus:
Mentorship is a powerful tool for personal and professional development. The LT Big Brother Mentorship Program connects experienced Lithuanian professionals with young talent, guiding them through career choices, personal growth, and life challenges. This program fosters relationships that help young Lithuanians navigate their paths to success both in Norway and globally.
Why We Do It:
LPO believes in the value of mentorship as a means of giving back to the community and strengthening connections within the diaspora. By mentoring the next generation, we ensure that knowledge and experience are passed on, helping young professionals achieve their full potential.
3. Oslo Innovation Week (OIW)
Our Core Focus:
Innovation is at the heart of progress.
Oslo Innovation Week (OIW) is an annual event that showcases cutting-edge ideas, startups, and projects from across the globe. LPO organizes these events to enhance cooperation between Lithuania and Norway in the scientific and business sectors. These initiatives aim to foster collaboration, exchange knowledge and expertise, and explore potential business opportunities.
Why We Do It:
OIW aligns with LPO’s mission to foster innovation and professional growth. By engaging in this event, we connect with a global network of innovators and entrepreneurs, bringing new ideas and opportunities to the Lithuanian professional community based in Oslo.
The LPO is truly fortunate to have a member like Tomas Pujanauskas. His invaluable contributions, dedication, and passionate approach have a profound positive impact on the LPO’s participation in the event.
4. Social Gatherings
Community is at the core of LPO. Through regular Social Gatherings like:
Monthly Meetups, Professional and Personal Development lectures, Dining, LPO Protų Mūšis Team, Annual Social Club Events.
We bring Lithuanian professionals together to build strong connections, share experiences, and foster a sense of belonging. These events provide a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where members can meet, exchange ideas, and support one another both personally and professionally.
Why We Do It:
Social gatherings are essential for maintaining a close-knit community. LPO believes that strong personal and professional relationships are the foundation for success. By organizing these events, we create opportunities for our members to grow together, strengthening the bonds that unite us.
Each of these projects reflects LPO’s commitment to empowering individuals, fostering professional growth, and giving back to the community. We invite you to join us in making a lasting impact. Together, we can build a brighter future for Lithuanian professionals in Oslo and beyond.
