Europe is stronger when we choose cooperation over division, solidarity over fear, and hope over uncertainty.

May 7 is an important day in Lithuania’s history - a reminder that language can be an act of freedom.

In 1904, Lithuania regained the right to publish books and newspapers in Lithuanian using the Latin alphabet. This ended a 40-year ban imposed by the Russian Empire, which had tried to weaken Lithuanian identity by restricting language, education, publishing, and public expression.

But instead of weakening Lithuanian identity, the ban strengthened it.

Lithuanian books and newspapers continued to be printed abroad, secretly smuggled into the country by knygnešiai - book smugglers who risked prison, exile, and persecution to protect the written word. These publications were read in secret, passed from hand to hand, and became part of a growing national movement.

For Lithuania, May 7 is not only about the end of censorship. It is about the survival of language, culture, memory, and dignity.

Vilnius feels a little more magical in spring when the sakuras bloom 🌸

Chiune Sugihara Sakura Park, near the Neris and the National Gallery of Art, is one of the city’s most beloved spring destinations. Its 200 cherry trees were planted in 2001 to honour the Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara 🇯🇵, whose courage helped save thousands of Jewish lives during the Second World War.

Today, the park is full of life: visitors strolling beneath the blossoms, taking photos, and enjoying lunch surrounded by the beauty of spring.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of hanami, it is a place to pause, gather, and savour the moment.
