International Projects
The organisation “Save the Children Lithuania” actively participates in international projects whose main objective is to strengthen children’s inclusion and ensure their real, meaningful participation in decision-making processes. By working together with partners across Europe and beyond, we share good practices, learn from one another, and jointly build stronger, child-sensitive systems in Lithuania and internationally.
Child Participation and Advocacy
This is one of the organisation’s key strategic directions. We aim to better respond to children’s needs, understand their challenges, and empower children to become agents of change. International projects help implement this strategy in practice — by establishing Children’s Councils, participating in EU-level platforms, and ensuring that children’s voices reach decision-makers.
