On 27th October Ambassador Gediminas Varvuolis attended the presentation of the sociolinguistic survey “Social value of languages in Lithuania and Finland – is there anything to worry about?“ by the Departments of Baltic Studies and Finnish Studies situated at the University of Greifswald. The presentation took place at the Embassy of Finland and was followed by the discussion during which Ambassador of Lithuania Gediminas Varvuolis, Ambassador of Finland Timo Ranta and the researchers analysed the attitudes of Finland’s and Lithuania’s populations and how people in Finland and Lithuania really think of the mixture of official and minorities’ languages in their countries.

The detailed documentation of the survey will be published in the summer of 2017.
