Jungtinės Karalystės lietuvių jaunimo sąjunga (JKLJS) - JK veikianti jaunimo organizacija, kurios tikslai yra vienyti ir atstovauti JK gyvenančių jaunų lietuvių interesams, puoselėti lietuvišką identitetą, kalbą bei kultūrą, plėtoti visuomeninę lietuvių jaunimo veiklą ir padėti jiems integruotis į JK visuomenę. JKLJS šiuo metu pasiekia daugiau nei 2000 Jungtinėje Karalystėje studijuojančio ir dirbančio jaunimo. Per trumpą savo egzistavimo laikotarpį JKLJS išsaugo ir įgavo tikros organizacijos formą su išvystyta struktūra bei sėkmingais renginiais. JKLJS kiekvienais metais inicijuoja apie 15 įvairių renginių ir projektų, skatinančių bendruomenės kūrimą, lietuvių identiteto išsaugojimą bei pristatančių lietuvišką kultūrą britų visuomenei. Jaunimo Sąjunga Jungtinėje Karalystėje - jau bene pusę amžiaus egzistuojanti organizacija. Prieš Lietuvai atgaunant nepriklausomybę, jos nariai dalyvavo protestuose už Tėvynės laisvę bei suorganizavo Margaret Thatcher ir Kazimieros Prunskienės susitikimą 1991 metų gegužės 19 dieną. Lietuvai atgavus nepriklausomybę, JKLJS veikla po truputį išblėso. Prireikė penkiolikos metų bei naujos emigrantų bangos, kad lietuvių jaunimas iš naujo susiburtų. Veiklūs Jungtinėje Karalystėje gyvenantys jaunieji lietuviai sąjungą atkūrė 2006 metų balandžio 22 dieną. Tapti JKLJS nariais galite užpildę anktetą: http://www.jkljs.ahost.lt/naryste/

26 years ago, we formed a human shield to protect our freedom and the values we stand for - this should be never forgotten. We have to remember the innocent blood spilt on 13th of January 1991, because without this bloodshed we would not be the nation we are today. We should stand together no matter what, like all those people did on this day.

***
Hopefully everyone is having a serene day, and where ever you are, no matter what are you doing, stop for a minute and reflect about these historic events that mean so much to Lithuanian nation.

The society is planning to go to the York Minster to light some candles over the weekend or at the beginning of the week. Members, please check the post in our group, and anyone who wants to be involved, do not hesitate to get in touch.

Hello everyone!

We'd like to apologise for the long silence here on this page. It's been a tough end of the term, and finally the long awaited Christmas break.

We want to thank for a good start of the academic year and hope that the rest of it is only going to get better :)

Hopefully this is not the last post of the year 2016, but we'd like finally upload a tiny slideshow from the awesome event hosted by the Helenic society! We're grateful that we've been invited to co-host, we want to say thank you and hope for another one later in the year ;)

Because of the paid entry, each society got a part of the profit, and the committee of Lithuanian society has decided to donate for a selected charity. (if you are curious which charity, contact us, and we'll share the information, so you could help out as well)

And for the members - think of what you'd like to do socially next term and don't forget to tell us, we'll organise 🎉

Setting up for the party!!
