Services
DDG is more than a research organisation. Institutions, municipalities, employers and NGOs turn to us when they need evidence they can act on, a practical method they can adopt or an independent facilitator to guide a complex conversation. We work in Lithuanian, English and Russian and have delivered projects for national ministries, municipalities, EU-funded consortia and private companies.
Research
Strategic advice
We help institutions develop methods for working with social diversity and monitoring outcomes. This includes preparing monitoring tools and methodologies, advising on fieldwork and engagement with target groups, and reviewing tools for quality before use. We work closely with municipalities, the Ministry of Social Security and Labour of the Republic of Lithuania, other government agencies, NGOs and the private sector.
Capacity building
We design and deliver structured training and capacity-building programmes for specific groups, including full-day training sessions, seminars and multi-session curricula. Each programme is informed by needs analysis and co-created with participants. We work in Lithuanian, English and Russian, online or in person.
Events and knowledge exchange
Beyond individual training sessions, we design programmes and events that bring practitioners, municipalities and civil society together around shared challenges. These include multi-day conferences, panel discussions, cross-border study visits, collaboration labs and round tables. Our events showcase good practice, connect stakeholders and help build lasting networks.
Facilitation
We facilitate round tables, stakeholder consultations, working groups and co-creation sessions, and conduct action research focused on practical solutions to real-world problems. Our facilitators are experienced in multilingual, multi-stakeholder settings, including dialogue between affected communities and the institutions that shape policy. This helps marginalised voices be heard and workable solutions emerge. We work in Lithuanian, English and Russian.
