World Arabic Language Day is observed annually on the 18th of December. Arabic Language Day is celebrated all around the world as a means to promote cultural understanding and encourage dialogue among people who speak different languages.
The goal is to present Arabic culture, language, and literature to the Lithuanian audience by highlighting it’s practical, historical and artistic features. In order to achieve this aim various methods, such as the work-shop, discussion, film screening, will be employed. Moreover, we aspire to involve both the Arabic and Lithuanian academic communities in order to foster new developments in the studies of Arabic culture, language, and literature.
