A 4th year student of Cultural Management, Laimutė Triukaitė, has spent her Autumn semester as an intern in “The Italian-Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce” in the city of Rome, Italy. The soon-to-be specialist of cultural management admits that leaving Lithuania for Erasmus+ internship meant for her major changes in the way she regards her life and professional career. “Now I realize that this choice I made last year was one of the best in my life. Being in Rome I had the exceptional opportunity to see how Italy takes care of its cultural system. Moreover, during my preparatory term, I had the opportunity to witness how various business events, meetings, conferences and luxurious international events are organized. Finally, it was so interesting to find out the exceptional aspects of the Italian work culture”, explains Laimutė.

I’m a third year cultural management student. Every year I find more and more opportunities to put myself to the test, get to know foreign cultures and pick up new ideas. This year I went to Romania, Craiova for a week taking part in Erasmus+ programme „Delegate Ownership on Social Responsibility“. I can honestly say  it was easily the best and the most memorable training. I have taken part in many various seminars both in Lithuania and abroad, however, none of them created such a lasting value.

On January 30, VU Kaunas Faculty of Humanities participated at Universities Fair in Kaunas. The annual fair provides pupils, teachers and others the possibility to get acquainted with the Lithuanian system of higher education and to “scan” the universities and their study programmes.

He gave a number of practical examples related with the requirements of equal rights, exposing the advertisements that may discriminate one social group or another.
