Daumantas Katinas

Head

My name is Daumantas. It fills me with great joy to be part of the German-Baltic Future Foundation, because since my childhood I have harboured the desire to teach German, to communicate with young people and to maintain a connection to Germany. In addition to my activities at Vilnius University, in the DAAD Alumni Association and in the German Language Society, the activities of the German-Baltic Future Foundation enrich me and I am grateful to be able to make a contribution to the future.

Indrė Aukštikalnienė

Deputy Head

My name is Indrė. German has been with me for as long as I can remember. Childhood stories about the German part of my family history, great German lessons at school and my German studies at Vilnius University all contributed to this. My professional work in business management and organisation has also always been linked to Germany. I currently also work in the education sector and enjoy working with young people. I like to be active in my free time. Long hikes and cycling tours are my passion.

Gabija Misevičiūtė

Team-member (honorary)

My name is Gabija and I study German Philology at Vilnius University. The German language and culture have been with me since I was little. German TV - Toggo, Nickelodeon, Kika, travelling to my grandma in Oldenburg, stories about my Prussian grandfather - all these things have sparked my interest and love for Germany. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be in an organisation where both my roots are united.
