Vilnius, Lithuania : Looking for the centre of Europe

What do an electric car, clandestine parties and a miracle stone have in common?

When the Internet Governance Forum met in September 2010 for their yearly conference, we quietly snuck out of the busy conference halls to meet with some people on the streets of Vilnius.

From an inventive kit that converts any old car into an electric vehicle, to youths that have converted an old Soviet ministry into a freedom house - we went looking for the initiative and entrepreneurship that puts Lithuanian people at the centre of Europe.

From global opportunity to local identity - this is what we found.

Next stop: We go to Germany to find out how big trucks and private planes put every entrepreneur at the centre of Europe.
