\"\"<\/a>The international scientific student conference \u201cForum of Ideas\u201d organised by the Faculty of Arts and Education of Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution, took place on 20th<\/sup> April. The 20th <\/sup>anniversary conference attracted a lot of guests from abroad, as well as the interest of Lithuania and the support of the Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution community.<\/p>\n

Keys to success<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plenary meeting of the conference was moderated by Asta Pukien\u0117, a lecturer at the Language Centre, and Dovydas Obcarskas, a student. The meeting was opened by the Head of the Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution Career Centre, Dr Mindaugas Samuolaitis, with his presentation \u201cLife Logistics\u201d, in which he emphasised that life-planning is important, but it\u2019s also significant to have a clear goal and a reliable team that will help you achieve it. \u201cPeople who surround us are our keys to success,\u201d said Dr M. Samuolaitis, emphasising that in order to achieve the set goal, you need to wisely choose people who will help you do it. \u201cIf we were running a business, we would hire people who are better than us in one area or another, but why do we do the opposite in life and surround ourselves with people who are like us? After all, they cannot be our teachers, motivators, because only those people who are stronger than us become them\u201d, the Head of the Career Centre shared the insight. At the end of an interesting, useful, and thought-provoking presentation, Dr M. Samuolaitis emphasised that the most important goal of each of us is simply to be happy.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paulius Vaitiekus, President of the Lithuanian National Union of Students, continued the conference programme with the presentation \u201cArtificial Intelligence (AI) and its Application in Higher Education\u201d. He expressed the opinion that although most people understand the possibilities of artificial intelligence, they do not know how to make the most of them. For students, artificial intelligence can become a great assistant in learning, because it is able to adapt to individual needs: to find out the learner\u2018s weaknesses, strengths, the ways in which he best assimilates new material and, based on the collected information, choose the most suitable learning methods. \u201cThanks to artificial intelligence, the learning system can become more flexible, adapt to the student, and make the learning process itself more interactive and fun. It\u2019s a great tool, but you shouldn\u2019t rely on it 100 percent,\u201d said P. Vaitiekus, mentioning the main disadvantages of artificial intelligence \u2013 violations of privacy and security conditions.\u201c Although artificial intelligence creates many and wide-ranging possibilities, it is not perfect. It is a tool that we can use, but we have to learn how,\u201d said the president of the Lithuanian National Union of Students.<\/p>\n

The topic of artificial intelligence was extended by Evelina Petkevi\u010dien\u0117, founder of Luxury Marketing, Branding & Creative Agency \u201cMiraceti\u201d, in the report \u201cHow AI and Web 3.0 Are Shaping Fashion\u2018s Future?\u201d \u201cThe fashion industry has always been really creative, breaking the rules, introducing new trends, so the use of artificial intelligence in its industry is extensive,\u201d said E. Petkevi\u010dien\u0117. Fashion giant \u201cBurberry\u201d is partnering with \u201cMinecraft\u201d to create joint projects using artificial intelligence capabilities, and such collaborations help to reach a larger audience of potential buyers. Other well-known brands are also using the capabilities of artificial intelligence: \u201cBershka\u201d, \u201cTommy Hilfiger\u201d, \u201cCoca-Cola\u201d. NFT collections, digital clothes are created with the assistance of artificial intelligence. \u201cInnovation, sustainability, inclusive design \u2013 these are keywords associated with artificial intelligence in the fashion industry,\u201d emphasised the founder of Luxury Marketing, Branding & Creative Agency \u201cMiraceti\u201d.<\/p>\n

Translations and multilingualism<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the plenary session, the topic \u201cTranslating Culture \u2013 Can we Translate it all?\u201d was presented by guests from Bosnia and Herzegovina, University Sinergija \u2013 Dr Marijana Prodanovi\u0107 and Dr Milena \u0160kobo. In the presentation, they emphasised that the translator, when translating literary texts, must be attentive to cultural nuances, attentive to differences, also maintain the original style of the translated text and not lose the artistic value of the work. The guests also briefly spoke about the topic of artificial intelligence, emphasising that a person cannot really be replaced, but artificial intelligence technologies provide additional opportunities to improve his skills.<\/p>\n

With the presentation \u201cThe sooner the better: why it is so important to learn second languages at an early age\u201d, the plenary session was closed by the researcher of preschool education and children language development at the University of Crete, lecturer Prof. Marina Tzakosta. The professor introduced the factors that affect children learning foreign languages. Prof. M. Tzakosta emphasised that not only the child\u2018s neurology, linguistic environment, but even the mother\u2018s pregnancy period can have an influence.<\/p>\n
