Lithuanian Language and Culture Studies

 

The new online and on-site non-formal education programme at Vytautas Magnus University “Lithuanian language and culture studies for Lithuanian diaspora and foreigners“!

The programme is designed for people of Lithuanian descent and foreigners who are not only interested in the Lithuanian language, history and culture but also seek to make Lithuania a part of their life project.

“We believe that our diaspora youth need an education centre, which, in addition to universal and modern education, could help revive Lithuanian identity. This programme, as well as other projects of  VMU World Lithuanian University expresses our wish to bring together all scattered Lithuanians. This is an opportunity to encourage and enable our diaspora to keep tight bonds with the motherland and to acquaint them with historical and contemporary Lithuania,“ says the Head of the Lithuanian Emigration Institute Prof. Egidijus Aleksandravičius.

The programme is adapted to everyone: the students who have prior knowledge of Lithuanian and complete beginners. It has several package offers that include both Lithuanian and culture courses. Every package offers courses on the Lithuanian language, phonetics, grammar and oral language practice; the culture courses include Lithuanian theatre, cinema, fine arts, folklore, traditions, mythology, history and much more.

If you are fascinated by the Lithuanian language, interested in culture or historical facts, wish to become a student again or have your own reasons, join VMU and the non-formal education programme.
