European Week of Regions and Cities

Aušra Jurgauskaitė

  • Journalist
  • Majored in Journalism and later in International relations and diplomacy, for more than 8 years I work in a radio station "Žinių radijas" that literally translates to "News radio". Up until now I host various kinds of shows, mostly on politics, both domestic and international. Every Thursday morning I have interviews with top Lithuanian officials: either the prime minister, other ministers or heads of various institutions - from military to intelligence. Topics that I enjoy working on the most are security, international relations, and European affairs. But I never get too far from what is going on "on the ground" - to keep that pulse I try to attend the protests and speak to the people there, I also work on a project where I travel to regions further away from Lithuanian capital Vilnius - including border regions - and speak to the locals there about their cultural pride and heartaches.
