Spring Festival 2022 invites to burst the Bubbles in the Environment
Spring festival (Pavasario festivalis) is an event organized by the Student Representation of Vytautas Magnus University for the 21st time, dedicated not only to Vytautas Magnus University, but also to the entire Kaunas city community. The motto of this year’s festival, “Let’s Burst the Bubbles!”. Therefore, on May 11 and 13, the organizers invite you to develop critical thinking, get acquainted with different opinions and nurture your distinctions.
There will be a variety of activities during the Pavasario festivalis. Wednesday, 6:30 p.m., in the Vienybės square, visitors will have an event “Laisvė Sielai Daužo”, which promotes freedom of expression and the development of tolerance and understanding towards other people. From 7 p.m. there will be a discussion about the faith and LGBTQ+ community with the actress Elžbieta Latėnaitė, who does not hide her bisexuality and would like as many Lithuanian people as possible to be proud of who they are. Franciscan St. Minister of the Casimir Province Evaldas Darulis will also join the discussion.
On the main day of the festival, Friday, everyone is invited to take part in an escape room organized by the LSU Student’s Representatives Council, where participants will develop their critical thinking and quick decision-making. There will also be a discussion on another mythical topic: politics with the former mayor of Kaunas district municipality, member of the Seimas, Minister of Social Security and Labor of the Republic of Lithuania Donatas Jankauskas and Marius Matijošaitis – the youngest member of this Seimas, a political scientist. The discussion will take place at 5 p.m. in the restaurant “Lamiija” (Laisvės al. 50).
The festival will end with a free closing concert in Vienybės square with bands like Begėdžiai, Free Finga and Saulės Kliošas Trio. The concert will start at 7p.m., everyone is welcome!
