From April 27 to May 1, 2026, the Lithuanian Sports University (LSU) hosted the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) “Integrating Sport Games into Training” (ISGiT-2). The BIP was attended by students and teachers from Italy, Spain, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Lithuania.
Students started the programme with online sessions led by teachers from different partner universities. During the online sessions, students not only deepened their knowledge but also worked in international teams to prepare project assignments for the intensive week in Kaunas.
During the intensive week at LSU, participants expanded their knowledge and skills through lectures and practical sessions, worked on the creation of sports activities that would incorporate game elements, and presented their group projects. The programme was packed with sports challenges, creative games, and educational and cultural activities. The LSU was represented in the programme by teachers Rasa Kreivytė, Rita Gruodytė-Račienė, Vusal Guseinov, Vaida Pokvytytė, Marco Pernigoni, and Francesco Coletta.
In addition to academic activities, the BIP participants had an opportunity to visit Žalgiris Arena, where they explored the versatility of this multifunctional building and got a glimpse to different spaces behind the scenes. The intensive programme culminated in a trip to the Anykščiai region, where participants strolled along the trails of Anykščiai Forest and visited the Tree-Top Walk complex.
The Erasmus+ BIP is coordinated by the Lithuanian Sports University in partnership with the University of Rome “Foro Italico” (Italy), the Technical University of Madrid (Spain), the University of Valencia (Spain), Wroclaw University of Health and Sport Sciences (Poland) and University of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina).
The next edition of the Erasmus+ BIP “Integrating Sport Games into Training” is planned to take place in the University of Rome “Foro Italico” (Italy) in 2027.
