\u2018W<\/span>elcome Week starts every year with the official greeting of students upon their arrival at Kauno kolegija HEI. <\/span>Students <\/span>are also introduced<\/span> to the <\/span>faculties’<\/span> international activity coordinators, heads of departments, the employee responsible for the dormitories and<\/span>, of course,<\/span> ESN KK mentors,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>shares Incoming Mobility Coordinator Deimant\u0117 Vai\u010diulyt\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the first meeting, students <\/span>are introduced<\/span> to the evaluation system and other relevant issues related to the study process, as well as Kauno kolegija HEI premises: auditoriums, library, recreation areas and sports halls.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018O<\/span>ne of the most memorable events is always the cultural exchange evening. During it, each student briefly introduces the country they came <\/span>from,<\/span> and introduces others to their <\/span>country’s<\/span> traditional dishes and music. This event is a great opportunity for students to get to know not only Lithuanian but also cultures of other countries, to make new friendships,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>says D. Vai\u010diulyt\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, during the sports day, students participated in various sports events and activities, thus strengthening <\/span>not only<\/span> their physical health<\/span> but also<\/span> developing teamwork skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

The majority of students are from Greece, Spain, and <\/span>Turkey<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

D. Vai\u010diulyt\u0117 reveals that <\/span>a <\/span>larger<\/span> number of<\/span> Erasmus+ students will start their studies at Kauno kolegija HEI this autumn semester compared to last year. Meanwhile, Greece, Turkey, and Spain continue to rank among the most popular countries from which students come.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018S<\/span>everal students mentioned that Lithuania is <\/span>a very clean<\/span> country, with a lot of greenery. Some students were pleasantly surprised by how easy and inexpensive public transport services are <\/span>to use<\/span>. However, every year <\/span>many<\/span> students <\/span>have to<\/span> face the challenge of the language barrier because not all Kaunasians speak English,<\/span>\u2019 <\/span>shares D. Vai\u010diulyt\u0117.<\/span><\/p>\n

She notes that Welcome Week is <\/span>a great<\/span> opportunity for incoming students <\/span>not only<\/span> to get to know Kauno kolegija HEI and its employees <\/span>but also to<\/span> get to know each other better:<\/span> \u2018<\/span>Welcome Week is a time when new friendships are born and new opportunities open up<\/span>.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
