A Geopolitics and Security Studies Center oak sapling has been planted in the Presidential Oak Grove in honour of President Valdas Adamkus.
GSSC Director Linas Kojala took part in the planting initiative. The gesture continues the symbolic connection between GSSC and President Valdas Adamkus, as well as the values associated with his public service: respect, dialogue, and responsibility.
Last year, during President Valdas Adamkus meeting with the GSSC community, a symbolic oak sapling was also planted in the Center’s courtyard. It serves as a reminder not only of that occasion, but also of shared principles that remain important for public life and civic community.
GSSC thanks the organisers of the initiative and Juozas Dainelis, the initiator of the planting campaign, for the opportunity to contribute to honouring President Valdas Adamkus.
