Baltic Society

Aims and Objectives:

1. Create a welcoming and inclusive environment for the members that are both the national citizens of the three Baltic countries - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - and people that are interested in exploring our culture and traditions.
2. Organise various events to celebrate our history and culture away from the home countries; we will also be paying close attention to the event ideas and suggestions of our society members, ensuring we meet the University’s and our members’ expectations.
3. Working towards expanding the Baltic Society’s reach to the University of Exeter students that would be interested in joining our society as well as the engagement in our activities.

Labas! Sveiki! Tere!

Do you recognise any of these words? Well, then let me introduce you to the society you just HAVE to join – The Baltic Society!

If you are a national citizen of one of the three Baltic countries, Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia, the Baltic Society is here for you. By taking part in our society’s events you will be able to meet like-minded people that have possibly come to study at the University of Exeter from the same city or town as you! Being at home away from home – this is what our society is about.

If you are not a national of the three countries, but interested in exploring our culture and traditions - please come along, too! Getting to know the culture from people that have grown up in the Baltics is definitely the best way to travel. Who knows, maybe you will find a friend who will also show you around when you come to visit Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia?

• The society will create a welcoming and inclusive environment for the members that are both the national citizens of the three Baltic countries - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - and people that are interested in exploring our culture and traditions.
