Tarp bendruomeninės tradicijos ir savarankiškumo: Didžiosios Britanijos lietuvių jaunimo sąjunga XX a. 8 dešimtmečio pabaigoje – 9 dešimtmetyje

Abstract

The article focuses on the factors affecting the way young Lithuanians in Great Britain got organized in the late 1970s and the 1980s. The aim is not only to elucidate the problems young people faced in trying to organize themselves and how they solved them but also to shed light on the attitudes of oldergeneration Lithuanians toward the renascent Great Britain Lithuanian Youth Association. What were the relations between the latter and the Lithuanian Association in Great Britain as well as the rather popular Lithuanian Scout Organization? The paper takes up this question as it discusses the activities of the Great Britain Lithuanian Youth Association and its vision of the Lithuanian community’s future
