Transform4Europe Culture Festival in Kaunas
Highly anticipated throughout the Transform4Europe Alliance, a week from the 4th to the 8th of May, 2022, will be dedicated to culture, discoveries and valuable connections when Vytautas Magnus University, together with the entire community of the Alliance, will be holding a Festival of European Culture. It is nothing short of symbolic that the first cultural Festival of the Alliance will occur during the year when Kaunas is the European Capital of Culture. A 4-day festival will invite students and staff members from the Alliance partner universities to Kaunas city, where an exciting programme will be waiting for them.
The programme of the Festival includes many entertaining activities, such as MasterClasses and workshops in creative writing, photography, animation, theatre, dance and many other fields. Moreover, the participants will gather in a special event to share exciting facts about their countries and cities and bond over their shared experience and exploration of Kaunas. The Festival will keep our guests and local students busy as there will be plenty of opportunities for them to explore what Kaunas, the European Capital of Culture, has to offer. Among these are various exhibitions of globally renowned artists, Kaunas Literature Week, offering an opportunity to join the open mic night, open-air book fairs or attending meetings with authors from all over Europe! The traditional Spring Festival, organised by the VMU Student Representative Council, will also take place on 7 May, so Kaunas will be full of exciting opportunities for all tastes and preferences.

It is always gratifying to participate in intercultural events as they offer opportunities to establish new friendships, explore new fields, learn new skills and engage in new experiences, all of which can change our perception of the world.
