The upcoming second Aukštaitija cultural assembly in Biržai aims to address contemporary issues concerning the statehood and independence of Lithuania, rather than focusing on historical events. Organizers emphasize the importance of protecting the national identity from external threats. A key question for participants will be how to recognize forces that undermine the country's independence and sovereignty, fostering a proactive stance against such challenges.

Among the goals of the assembly is to strengthen the cultural landscape of the Aukštaitija region, encouraging civic engagement and a culture of respectful dialogue. The event will highlight the contributions of local artists, thinkers, and civic activists, reflecting on their ideas and works as they relate to the regional identity. This includes discussions on how the arts can play a role in fostering a sense of community and awareness among citizens.

Prominent figures will contribute to the assembly, including philosopher Paulius Gritėnas, who will present insights from local philosopher Jūratė Baranova regarding statehood and democratic values. The assembly will also feature poets from the Biržai and Pasvalys districts, such as Alis Balbierius and Vladas Br, showcasing the vibrant cultural activity in the area. Overall, this event promises to be a significant gathering for cultural development and community engagement within the region.
