Culture & Heritage

Our culture

Ireland's culture is a unique national strength and a source of strong links between Lithuania and Ireland. It's one of our greatest competitive advantages, a "door opener" that converts into jobs, trade, investment and tourism. It’s also an effective way of connecting with the Irish community and with Lithuanian partners and friends.

What we do

We're involved in a range of cultural activities, which raise awareness of Ireland and also enhance our ties with Lithuania. We promote cultural relations through a number of initiatives. For details of our specific initiatives and events, look at our news feed and follow us on Twitter.
