Bio
Ugne studied in the south of France at Sciences Po Paris University where she gained an academic background in political science and international relations. During her university years she contributed to the work of Amnesty International and acquired experience in diplomacy by working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania, her home country. She continued garnering professional expertise in policy making and EU mechanisms in a research institute where she investigated socio economic and migration issues. She joined Think-Film with a desire to use visual storytelling to lift policy off the page and achieve tangible political impact outcomes. As part of the team, she worked on impact campaigns for multiple documentaries and fiction films. For example with fiction feature "The Son" she worked to spotlight the youth mental heath crisis in Europe and with ARTE docuseries "Our Forests" she is campaigning to increase corporate responsibility in forest areas, by engaging with EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
