Prof. Dr. Kristina Motiejūnaitė, Head of the Department of Health Promotion and Rehabilitation; and Irena Čikotienė, Head of the International Relations Office, participated in a project coordinated by the Jean Monnet University in Saint-Étienne, France, a project aimed at creating the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Program “Exercise and Healthy Aging and Chronic Diseases in Sustainable Societies” (abbreviated as “EADS” for Exercise, Ageing, Diseases & Sustainable Societies).
The two-year program is designed for seniors suffering from various diseases, aiming to improve their physical activity while fostering a sustainable society. During the meeting, the program’s academic achievement plan was discussed and finalized, the structure of the master’s program itself was established and approved, and countries were assigned for teaching by semester.
The project coordinator is Jean Monnet University; participants include Ghent University, Belgium; the University of Primorska, Slovenia; the University of Pavia, Italy, the University of Quebec, Canada, and the Lithuanian Sports University. LSU has become an official partner in the study program, coordinating one semester of studies with the possibility of teaching individual courses in other semesters.
