Delfi Day: Tips for Beginner Runners and the Unseen Airport Life

Lithuania is lagging behind the European Union's deadline for implementing the European Digital Identity Wallet, a system designed to securely store and use personal documents, diplomas, and e-prescriptions across all member states by the end of 2026. Technology law expert Mindaugas Civilka from the law firm TEGOS will discuss the reasons for the delay, its potential impact on citizens and the state, and the project's significance for European digitalization.

The program also delves into the world of running, offering advice for aspiring athletes. While starting to run might seem simple, coach Arnas Gabrėnas will address common beginner mistakes and provide guidance on preparing for first competitions or longer distances.

Furthermore, the broadcast offers a glimpse into the bustling, often unseen, operations of an airport in the early morning hours. "Avia Solutions Group" operations coordinator Daniel Balkevič and passenger service agent Matas Kovalevskis will share insights into the work of various specialists who ensure smooth departures and arrivals, highlighting career opportunities within the aviation industry.

Finally, the program revisits Lithuania's 1990s, a period of significant political change and cultural emergence. The rise of alternative music and metal scenes in Utena, which became a hub for youth subcultures, will be explored. Vilnius University History Faculty students Mūza Svetickaitė and Toma Stankevičiūtė will present findings from their expedition, based on interviews with musicians and community members from that era, shedding light on a recent yet often overlooked chapter of Lithuanian history.
