American Speaker Program

In order to increase understanding about U.S. society and policies, The American Center focuses on promoting cultural, political and educational exchanges through various outreach programs. 

As the best means of sharing the U.S. cultural and policy perspective, the American Center invites American speakers and specialists to address and exchange ideas with their Lithuanian counterparts in areas such as U.S. foreign policy, defense and security, human rights, the rule of law, protection of intellectual property rights, arts management and other various aspects of American culture, history, society and values.  Organizations are welcome to provide suggestions for speaker programs that can help them reach their goals. If you have a speaker request or questions about the speaker program, please contact us at: WebEmailVilnius@state.gov. 

Cultural Events

Throughout Lithuania, the American Center organizes events along with partners to offer a glimpse into America's diverse culture. The American Center also organizes events focused on promoting public awareness and community dialogue around various policy issues including human rights concerns. 

Over the past year, some of the cultural programming highlights have included the Hollywood Centennial Program, cultural exchanges between U.S. and Lithuanian students via Digital Video Conferencing, U.S. musicians performing at local music festivals, and American writers presenting their  books to a variety of Lithuanian audiences. The Embassy has also supported local initiatives by bringing in subject matter experts from the U.S. to enhance the local dialogue and promote cultural exchange.
