VMU Student Organisations: A Space for Discussions and Public Education

Every September, students not only rush to lectures but also seek additional opportunities for self-fulfilment. One way to combine these pursuits is by participating in the University’s student organisations. The student clubs at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) not only unite students with diverse interests and needs but also provide a space for fruitful discussions, the exchange of ideas and opinions, self-expression, and development.

Interviewed representatives of VMU student organisations unanimously agree that joining a circle of like-minded individuals with similar interests goes beyond merely engaging in meaningful leisure activities; it also aids in personality development and broadening one’s horizons.

Fostering financial literacy for the country’s brighter future

Finding an activity you enjoy is not always easy. This was the dilemma faced by Simonas Radzevičius, a graduate of the VMU Faculty of Economics and Management. Seeking enthusiasts interested in investing, several years ago he decided to bring them together in an informal discussion group called the Investment Club.

“The goal was not only to discuss what is happening in the investment market but also to learn something new and share existing experiences,” says Simonas, the founder of the Investment Club, which was granted official student organisation status a year ago. Currently, the club has 10 active members and is actively expanding its membership.

According to the club president, Aistė Dirdaitė, the main mission of the organisation is to create a community where its members can pass on their experience and knowledge about investment strategies to both those who already have investment experience and those just starting to invest.

“According to statistics, Lithuania has one of the lowest financial literacy rates in the entire European Union, so promoting financial literacy is very important. We encourage discussions about investing without trying to sell financial products and dispel myths about quick money-making,” says the VMU economics student about promoting financial literacy.

Simonas, the founder of the Investment Club, notes that the organisation’s meetings are attended by students with different backgrounds, but the most important thing is their desire to engage in collective activities. “Students take the initiative themselves, for example, making presentations on topics that interest them, while others come just to listen and learn new information. Perhaps this will motivate them to explore a new area – sometimes one person’s insight can help better understand a market that they know less about. Among our ranks, we also have people already working with real estate or cryptocurrencies,” says Simonas.

Although the club was officially recognised as an organisation only a year ago, its representatives claim that a lot has been achieved in this time: throughout the period, presentations for the investment community have been regularly organised, and club representatives have actively participated in fairs and events with university lecturers and financial sector representatives. The club president believes that the Investment Club is an excellent place to develop entrepreneurial skills.

“We still have room to grow, but the club’s potential is enormous. Just one lecture on budgeting and personal finance management can positively impact a person’s view of their finances, enabling them to make more informed, thoughtful financial decisions, which will contribute to the overall growth of our country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP),” says Aistė.

Natural sciences – for everyone

University students interested in the natural sciences also have opportunities for self-realisation. Those eager not only to discuss various natural science topics but also to contribute to the implementation of educational activities are invited to join the VMU Academic Youth Scientific Association (AYSA) “Modusas.”

“We are a student organisation of the VMU Faculty of Natural Sciences, made up of active, creative, and nature-loving students. We not only gather students interested in various areas of natural sciences but also aim to contribute to public education through our activities,” describes Martyna Buklytė, president of VMU AYSA Modusas and a student of Environmental Science and Protection.

Founded in 2005 by active doctoral students, the organisation initially focused on gathering like-minded individuals who wanted to discuss scientific topics amongst themselves. This student gathering soon evolved into an organisation, with one of its main goals being to better acquaint the public with scientific topics.

According to the president of VMU AYSA Modusas, participating in the association’s activities is also an excellent opportunity to discover a favourite activity. “Any university student can become a member of the organisation. All that is required is to fill out an application form. Selected candidates are admitted for a trial period of 30 days, during which they have the chance to see how the organisation operates up close and contribute to organising educational or other activities. Most candidates, after completing the trial period and undergoing special training, stay for the long term,” says Martyna, who is pleased that more and more international students are joining the organisation, some of whom also become members of the coordinating council.

However, the opportunity to engage in a favourite activity and find like-minded individuals is not the only factor that encourages students to join this organisation. The most active members can apply for a scholarship awarded by the Dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences.

“We must acknowledge that without the members’ enthusiasm, the organisation would certainly not be so active. We constantly encourage and motivate each other, cooperate with other youth organisations, such as the Lithuanian Youth Council (LiJOT), organise educational events, give presentations to schoolchildren, and are regular participants in study fairs, during which everyone can try out the natural science experiments we conduct,” says Martyna, a representative of VMU AYSA Modusas, which currently has over 50 members.

For those seeking new experiences and internationality

Those dreaming of making new friends from around the world, improving foreign language skills, and gaining more experience in organising events are invited to join ESN VMU – the international branch of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) at VMU – at the beginning of each semester.

“The guiding principle of our organisation is ‘Students helping students’. We are the largest volunteer student organisation in Europe, having operated for 35 years. Our goal is to unite people from all cultures, help incoming international students integrate into the university environment, and create a welcoming atmosphere. ESN VMU has been active at our university since 2009 and is responsible for organising various events, trips, and campaigns,” explains the organisation’s president, Eglė Mataitytė, a student of Special Educational Support.

Any university student can join the organisation, including international students who are here for a semester or two under international exchange programmes.

“Our main expectation is that students actively participate in our activities, which are numerous. We strive to bring international students together at least once a week for fun activities, such as a hike around Kaunas, participating in a picnic, watching movies, having a games night, or joining a pub quiz. We also want to promote social responsibility through our events: we have visited animal shelters, participated in blood donation campaigns, and organised meetings with people with disabilities and representatives of ethnic minorities to draw attention to the everyday challenges faced by these groups,” describes the organisation’s Vice-President, Gabrielė Grigaliūnaitė.

According to ESN VMU representatives, the benefits of participating in the organisation’s activities are not limited to expanding horizons through interaction with students from abroad and improving English or other foreign language skills but also include overcoming certain personal weaknesses or trying out new activities. For Eglė, being part of the organisation helped overcome her stage fright and fear of public speaking, while Gabrielė gained valuable experience in event organisation.

“Being in the position of an event organiser not only allowed me to see and experience first-hand the processes of budget planning and seeking sponsors but also to contribute to creating visuals for social media. This experience reaffirmed that my chosen field of study, public communications, is where I want to realise myself in the future,” says Gabrielė.

Would you like to „taste“… a language?

We are used to tasting or enjoying food. However, is it possible to “taste” a language? For the third year, the Institute of Foreign Languages invites you to participate in language tasters, online events dedicated to minor and lesser-taught languages. Maybe not everyone would dare to learn a rare language, but during this hour-long event, we can find out more about it, hear how words and phrases sound and try to pronounce them ourselves. It is also an opportunity to learn about foreign countries and cultures from native speakers.

This year we invite you to participate in four language tasters: Taiwanese and Chinese, Canadian-Ukrainian dialect, Indonesian and Uzbek. Former or current international VMU students will help us to “taste“ them.

The events will take place each week of November on MS Teams. More information HERE.

Please keep in mind that the time indicated is EET. Please check the time according to your time zone HERE.

Lithuania’s First STEAM Didactics Centre Opened at VMU

“The future of Lithuania lies in the individuals you educate. They must be technically skilled and aesthetically sensitive. Through that combination of technical knowledge and artistic sensitivity, we will create a brighter future by educating students who can combine mathematics, science, and the arts. This is why STEAM centres are so vital,” said Professor Edmond Saliklis from California Polytechnic State University, during his presentation at the opening of the STEAM Didactics Centre at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU).

The new centre is unique – the first and only one of its kind in Lithuania – designed to be the primary space for education professionals to enhance their competencies and deepen their knowledge in STEAM education. STEAM is an integrated, interdisciplinary model for developing students’ skills, combining science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and the arts.

“Without playfulness, we are robots, but without discipline, we are in chaos. The connection, the threshold between the two, is very important. It’s a way to renew teaching and inspire our students. STEAM has its roots in the Bauhaus school in Germany, where artists, architects, and sculptors combined playfulness with discipline, and their motto was ‘Learn by doing’. This motto is also adopted by my university,” Prof. Saliklis noted.

He shared that when he teaches interdisciplinary courses at California Polytechnic State University, such as architectural and civil engineering, he encourages his students to create so-called artefacts – inventive art objects that are based on mathematical and other scientific principles.

The focus is on people, not the buildings

The opening of the VMU STEAM Didactics Centre took place on Friday, 11 October, at the VMU Agriculture Academy. The event attracted two hundred education community representatives, STEAM Centre leaders and methodologists, representatives of education centres, and teachers. More than two hundred pupils also attended the event, where they had the opportunity to try out 18 different STEAM activities, visit modern laboratories, and listen to success stories.

According to Assoc. Prof. Judita Žukauskienė, Head of the VMU STEAM Didactics Centre, STEAM education integrates subjects from different fields using creativity and team activities, which provide students with the opportunity to not only learn more effectively, but also to get to know themselves better, to experiment, and tackle challenges.

Assoc. Prof. Judita Žukauskienė

“Our Centre has several key missions: to enhance the qualifications and development of current teachers in STEAM areas, to train STEAM educators, which are in short supply, and to offer activities for pupils. Buildings alone are worthless. To fulfill our missions, we have people who will help achieve these goals at the Centre,” said the Head of the Centre.

The Centre plans to hold methodological training, seminars, and workshops to further incorporate innovations into the teaching process. Modern laboratories will foster collaboration among scientists, students, educators, and pupils.

From artificial intelligence and drones to agronomy and economics

“We are beginning to understand the harmony of nature and our place in the world – we do not live in isolated areas, so from the very first steps of learning, sciences should be interconnected. We don’t need to think that this will replace mathematics, English, or physics; no, it’s a way to learn about the environment around us in an integral way, because that is how we live,” VMU Rector Prof. Juozas Augutis emphasised the importance of integrating different sciences during the opening of the Centre.

Prof. Juozas Augutis

“The entire Vytautas Magnus University is engaged in STEAM – it’s not just a separate classroom with some equipment. Pupils and teachers can spread out across various labs and centres, which fill all the spaces, from artificial intelligence to agronomy, from economics to drone technology, from mathematics to engineering,” said the Rector, adding that thanks to a recently signed agreement, doctoral students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will soon come to the university to work with STEAM and assist pupils.

The advisor to the Minister of Education, Science, and Sports on science and general education, Rasa Kulvietienė, also spoke at the opening, wishing everyone success in exploring the mysteries of science and in cooperation. “I wish everyone here to find synergy and cooperation, to foster a culture in which you try to understand each other and use scientific knowledge, but do not forget the most important thing – that it is not only the laboratories that create, but also the people who will gather here to work,” remarked Rasa Kulvietienė.

The future is in the school corridors

During the event, the Mayor of Kaunas District, Valerijus Makūnas, highlighted that collaboration with Vytautas Magnus University has been and remains crucial for the region – a collaboration that led to the establishment of VMU Ugnės Karvelis Gymnasium. “We have signed various agreements to invest in young people choosing teaching as their profession, and it is happening. This is a significant contribution of this university, and I sincerely thank you for it. It’s no secret that our future walks the corridors of schools,” said the mayor.

At the opening of the VMU STEAM Didactics Centre, educators had the opportunity to attend plenary sessions and discussions and participate in two conferences where experts reviewed practical STEAM education solutions and innovative foreign practices for teaching about climate change. Pupils attended a forum on “STEAM Future Perspectives” and practical STEAM workshops.

The event began with a special STEAM performance by VMU students and the Centre’s staff.
