Polish-Lithuanian journalists’ trainings in Pac Palace

Jarosław Czubiński, Polish Ambassador in Lithuania, met yesterday (23rd September) with the participants of the Polish-Lithuanian journalists’ trainings ‘Vi-Wa’(Vilnius-Warsaw) organized by the New Media Foundation.

The trainings are held thanks to the subsidy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland and Polish Embassy in Vilnius, which made the Pac Palace available for the trainings.

There are two groups of the trainings, namely the Warsaw group that met in August and the one which is meeting now in Vilnius.

In the project participate Polish and Lithuanian citizens who edit together the cultural magazine ‘Vi-Wa’, available in electronic version. The magazine is edited by the Lithuanians in Lithuanian and by the Poles in Polish.

‘We’d like to create the environment of co-operating young people on two sides of the border. The environment which will start from getting know the culture of both sides of our not existing, yet so prevailing border. The cognition must come at the very beginning. Then the understanding will come. In other case all the friendly gestures are meaningless’.
