During the International Week, incoming teachers will be assigned to give lectures and/or lead seminars/workshops and practical sessions for students from different LSU study programmes based on their offered teaching topics.

The International Week will also serve as a platform to meet colleagues from other academic institutions for sharing good practice, learning and getting inspired by each other, and building new partnership networks for future collaboration.

Along the teaching programme, the IW will offer a variety of social activities, including:

  • individual meetings with representatives of the academic departments
  • guided Kaunas city tour,
  • tasting traditional Lithuanian cuisine,
  • sports activities at the LSU campus
  • and much more…
