The Lithuanian education system places great emphasis on developing creativity, initiative and innovation.

After the lecture, a representative of NGO Meno Avilys (experts in the creation of media curricula), who are involved in this project as external evaluators, presented and assigned to all the teachers a task which involved the creation of an original, five-minute film in the form of a travelogue. After the lunch break all participants visited the historical village of Trakai, situated next to a lake with a fascinating island castle. Here, they used their smartphones to shoot characteristic scenes.


On the third day of the LTT, the participants visited the Martynas Mazvydas National Library of Lithuania where they attended a lecture by Kristina Stankeviciute entitled: The media and ideology/propaganda/publicity. Then, after a short coffee break, they visited the Parliament, where two members of parliament, one belonging to the government and the other to the opposition, presented specific examples of propaganda related to the safety of their country.

After a two-hour lecture by Arturas Kavaliauskas, during which participants were presented and became familiar with the features of the film editing software, they tried to utilize the software to edit the scenes they had shot and create a film. Their effort was successful since even the most inexperienced managed to create a short film. Finally, after lunch, in the same laboratory, a representative of NGO Meno Avilys joined the group initiating a critical discussion of the films made.

All in all, this five-day training on media and digital literacy proved fascinating. It was the first step in our effort to gain the necessary means that will help us create the “Media and Society” curriculum and methodological material for its implementation in class, which is the main goal of our joint effort. The organising of the LTT by Vilnius Salomeja Neris gymnasium and VGTU were of an exceptionally high standard. All members of the Lithuanian team welcomed us cordially and generously offered their time and effort to host this event.
