THE AIM OF THE PROJECT

The forum aims to promote knowledge, cooperation, and representation of business women’s organisations on issues relevant to business women.

The forum was attended by the heads or representatives of 7 organisations: the Lithuanian Business Women’s Network (Kaunas, Vilnius, and Panevėžys), the association Lyderė, the Business Women’s Association, the Kaunas Women’s Employment Information Centre, the Wileńszczyzna Jest Kobietą (club’s ‘Vilnija – tai moteris’), Women Go Tech, and WoW University.

The atmosphere throughout the forum was warm, cosy and feminine-communal. Participants shared that ‘It is very pleasing that the Forum broke the ice and encouraged a common conversation and discussions’.

‘We understand each other and look in the same direction. We will enrich ourselves and our organisations by sharing more knowledge and expertise, and we will actively engage in youth education. The first Forum is a great contribution to the future growth of the Lithuanian group of entrepreneurial women’, summarised the moderator of the forum, Fausta Šeputytė-Visser.

The ‘First Lithuanian Business Women’s Forum’ took place in 2021.
