Lithuania's Culture Pass to include preschoolers from September

Starting in September, preschoolers in Lithuania will gain access to the Culture Pass program, expanding its reach to younger children. This initiative will provide access to over 5,800 cultural activities, with 1,347 new educational and cultural options being introduced this year. For the first time, activities specifically designed for preschoolers have been evaluated by an expert commission. The commission assessed whether these activities effectively cultivate children's cultural understanding and creativity. The Culture Pass program aims to make cultural experiences more accessible to children, fostering their engagement with arts and heritage from an early age.
