Inspired by real life
The “Olimpikas” Association was born from a need and an inner calling to support people whom society often overlooks or fails to understand. It was inspired by personal experiences with people with disabilities who face social barriers. Their strength, challenges and desire to participate fully in society inspired action.
We realised that practical opportunities, understanding and support were lacking. On 10 December 2004, “Olimpikas” was born: a community that opens doors where they are often closed.
Strong first steps
One of the first events that brought together people with and without disabilities showed clearly that differences do not prevent a sense of community. The first successful project soon followed and helped people discover themselves through creativity. A vibrant community grew from a small idea into an increasingly strong movement.
We envisage a world in which everyone, regardless of their circumstances or opportunities, feels valued, seen and important. It is a society based on respect, equality and the opportunity to grow together.
We are bringing together the community of the Šiauliai district, where everyone feels valued, safe and accepted. We strive for social integration, defend human rights, and encourage an active lifestyle and meaningful cooperation.
We are creating a space where everyone can participate regardless of differences.
We respect the value of every human being and strive for equal opportunities for all.
We bring people together to work as a team, drive change and share responsibility.
We encourage active involvement and care for the community.

People who create
Our community comprises people with and without disabilities, their families and volunteers. Our diverse experiences are brought together by shared activities, mutual support and a desire to create a more inclusive Šiauliai district. Every member can not only receive support, but also share ideas and contribute to the community.
