Let's gather in these times of unrest, talk about what matters and connect in the lovely Lithuanian nature // LT žemiau
On August 14-17 we invite everyone who cares about solidarity and emancipation to come together to talk about pressing issues, share ideas and practices to drive a positive social, economic and ecological change. This year, the gathering will take place at a new beautiful location by the lake, just an hour away from Vilnius (find it by “Papartis, Andiulionių poilsiavietė” on Google Maps).
Kombinatas is an annual gathering for left ideas, bringing together individuals and organisations from across the Baltic region and beyond. It aims to strengthen regional connections, spark new collaborations, and explore transformative ideas rooted in equality and solidarity.
Initiated in 2020 by Lithuanian grassroots groups, Kombinatas is now organised by a collective from Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The festival is organised on a voluntary basis. It is free of charge!

Susiburkim šiais neramiais laikais ir kalbėkimės apie tai, kas rūpi.
Rugpjūčio 14–17 d. kviečiame visas ir visus, kam rūpi solidarumas ir emancipacija, vėl susitikti Kombinate. Kviesime kartu mąstyti, kalbėtis ir dalintis įgalinančiomis idėjomis bei praktikomis, kurios padėtų siekti progresyvių socialinių, ekonominių ir ekologinių pokyčių. Šįmet sambūris vyks naujoje įspūdingoje vietoje – stovyklavietėje prie ežero, vos valanda nuo Vilniaus (Google Maps rasi įvedus “Papartis, Andiulionių poilsiavietė”).
Kombinatas – tai kasmetinis sambūris, skirtas kairiosioms idėjoms ir praktikoms. Mūsų tikslas – auginti bendruomenę, stiprinti regioninius ryšius, ieškoti naujų bendro veiksmo galimybių ir, žinoma, nagrinėti lygybe ir solidarumu grįstas idėjas.
Kombinatas prasidėjo 2020 metais, susibūrus kelioms Lietuvos progresyvioms iniciatyvoms. Šiandien Kombinatą organizuoja kolektyvas iš Lietuvos, Latvijos ir Estijos. Festivalis organizuojamas savanoriškai, o dalyvavimas – nemokamas!
