TLDR

  • Delfi's "Saugu" (Safe) initiative is organizing a public event in Utena, Lithuania.
  • The event will feature discussions on safety, media, and practical advice from journalists, military experts, and energy company representatives.
  • The initiative aims to reassure Lithuanians about their country's safety and encourage civic participation in maintaining it.

The "Saugu" (Safe) initiative, a prominent project by Delfi, is bringing its important dialogue on safety and security directly to the people of Utena. This initiative, which has become a regular feature across Lithuania's regions, underscores Delfi's commitment to engaging with citizens on critical issues that affect their daily lives and national well-being.

Journalist Kristina Pocytė-Medutė, retired Army Major Darius Antanaitis, and an ESO (Energy Distribution Operator) representative will be present to share insights and answer questions. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that a wide range of safety concerns are addressed, from media literacy and understanding current events to practical preparedness for potential disruptions, such as power outages. The inclusion of ESO representatives, who can demonstrate the use of electrical generators, highlights the practical, hands-on nature of these community engagements.

Labai džiaugiuosi, kad vėl pradedame važinėti, nes labai pasiilgau šių išvykų, susitikimų ir žmonių, kartais linksmų, kartais piktų. Lietuva yra įvairi ir labai džiugu apskritai, kad žmonės ateina ir kalbasi. Manau, pats svarbiausias dalykas yra kalbėtis. Mes esame stiprūs tiek, kiek stiprios mūsų bendruomenės

— Darius AntanaitisExpressing his enthusiasm for the regional visits and the importance of community dialogue.

Major Antanaitis emphasizes the value of these regional visits, noting the genuine desire of citizens to ask questions and receive direct answers. He believes that strong communities are the bedrock of national strength, and these discussions foster that essential connection. From our perspective at Delfi, these events are vital for bridging the gap between information providers and the public, ensuring that safety concerns are heard and addressed transparently.

The "Saugu" initiative's core message is one of reassurance and empowerment: Lithuania is a safe country, and its continued safety depends on the collective efforts of politicians, businesses, and citizens alike. By providing professional content, facilitating discussions, and offering expert commentary, Delfi aims to foster a shared understanding of what each individual can do to contribute to national security. This proactive engagement is particularly relevant in today's complex geopolitical climate, reminding Lithuanians of their agency and the importance of community resilience.

Į renginį atėję žmonės gali paklausti pačių įvairiausių saugumo klausimų, į kuriuos atsako ekspertas, dažniausiai Darius. Kartu su mumis vyksta ir ESO atstovai, kurie žmonėms papasakoja apie generatorius, kai kuriose vietose turi ir savo automobilį, kuriame pavyzdinis generatorius yra, tad galima jį pamatyti, pačiupinėti

— Kristina Pocytė-MedutėDescribing the practical and expert-led nature of the safety discussions at the event.
