2025 November 20 The closing event of the INTERREG Lithuania-Poland project, the conference ‘Verba regiono ambasadorė’, took place at the Maišiagala Traditional Crafts Centre. Excellent presentations were delivered by Ms. Gražyna Golubowska, a custodian of Vilnius region cultural heritage; Dr. Gustaw Juzala-Deprati, ethnographer and ethnomusicologist; ethnographer, folk artist, and pussy willow binder Janina Norkūnienė; Justyna Ostrowska, cultural researcher from Poland; and Skirmantė Vaitkevičiūtė, exhibition designer creating innovative exhibitions.
