On 15-16 October, 2013, Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty of Humanities held the final meeting of the international project HEUROPA partners. The organisers of the meeting were the associate professors in the Department of Lithuanian Philology Saulė Juzelėnienė and Rita Baranauskienė. The partners of the projects are scientists from Dresden University of Technology and University of Prague as well as representatives from language teaching centres in Krakow, Paris and London.

Initiated by the President of the Republic of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaitė, it’s the third time that the national campaign “Christmas of Books” has taken place. The VU KHF community was invited to participate by the 3rd year students of Cultural Management, with encouragement coming from the Republic of Lithuania’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in Belarus Evaldas Ignatavičius and the Embassy’s Second Secretary Eglė Railė after the last-year second-hand book campaign that the Faculty organised.

Students of Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty of Humanities together with pupils from certain Old Town educational institutions put Kaunas citizens in an uplifting mood by organising a colourful and loud demonstration down the Vilnius street.

Prof. Dr. Virginija Jurėnienė (Department of Philosophy and Cultural Studies) has brought memorable experiences and impressions from Taiwan where the 7^th international scientific conference “Passions for Learning: Forms of Knowledge, Forms of Acquisition” took place. She delivered a speech “Cultural Center – the Heart of Non-formal and Aesthetical Education” in the national Changhua University of Education.
