The annual VMU East Asia Day on 30 April will conclude with a public lecture by a distinguished guest from Thailand, Dr Namtip Aksornkool. After extensive experience with UNESCO, UNDP and other international agencies, Dr Aksornkool is now an independent consultant in literacy, basic education and gender in development.
Her talk, titled “Lithuania – Southeast Asia: a partnership worth strengthening?” will address key directions for the development of links between Lithuania and her native region, particularly in economy and intercultural cooperation.

Dr Namtip Aksornkool has a PhD in Socio-Linguistics, but apart from her academic experience, she is a world-class practitioner with expertise in education, gender and development. At UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, she spent 27 years working on gender and development, with special focus on out-of-school girls and women including ethnic minorities. Dr Aksornkool has designed, organised and delivered training courses for a range of audiences including policy makers, educators and media professionals.

VMU Centre for Asian Studies cordially invites everyone with an interest in Southeast Asia, gender, development, education and entrepreneurship to attend the public talk at 15:15 at the VMU Small Hall, Daukanto str. 28.
