Lithuania - Année européenne du bénévolat 2011
- Word for volunteering: Savanoriško
In Lithuania, there are two relevant concepts – volunteering (savanoryste, savanoriskaveikla) and voluntary work (savanoriskas darbas). The word ‘volunteer’ also has a military connotation, as ‘volunteers’ (savanoriai) established themselves as semi-military organisations after the restoration of Lithuanian independent state in 1990. There are currently no specific laws regulating volunteering in Lithuania. The concept of volunteering is usually understood by stakeholders and used in the public discourse as involvement of individuals, out of their own free will, in some kind of activities without any remuneration.
