About Užupės kaimo bendruomenė „Liaudė“

The organisation recognises the importance of bringing people together and creating opportunities for meaningful cooperation. We believe that a strong community is created through shared experiences, mutual assistance, active participation and respect for local identity.

Užupės kaimo bendruomenė „Liaudė“ aims to provide a welcoming environment in which residents can contribute ideas, take part in local initiatives, exchange knowledge and work collectively toward common goals.

Our full legal name is Užupės kaimo bendruomenė „Liaudė“. “Užupės kaimo bendruomenė” means “the village community of Užupė” — a name that ties the association to a specific place and the people who live there.

“Liaudė” is the name by which the community is known. It is shared with the local street on which the association is registered and, in Lithuanian, carries a natural echo of liaudis — “the people” or “folk” — a fitting reminder that this association belongs to its residents.

Village life is woven from many threads: families and young people, older generations who carry local memory, newcomers who bring fresh energy, volunteers and local stakeholders. Our work is to help those threads hold together.

We are committed to transparency, responsible community engagement, respect for every resident and meaningful participation. We publish our legal information openly, describe our activities honestly and welcome questions from anyone in the community.
