Our Erasmus+ week started with a burst of excitement and energy. Students and teachers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Italy, Spain, and Lithuania gathered together for the long-awaited opening ceremony. The event was full of music, color, and joy — Lithuanian students performed traditional dances and songs that immediately brought everyone into a cheerful spirit.
Each country also presented its own creative performance, giving us a glimpse into different cultures and talents. The audience clapped, laughed, and enjoyed every moment. Later that day, we invited our guests to explore Kulautuva, showing them the most beautiful spots in our town and sharing the stories behind them. It was a wonderful beginning that set the tone for the whole week — warm, welcoming, and full of new friendships.
The following day focused on creativity and teamwork. We split into two groups — one worked on art projects inspired by Erasmus and cultural diversity, while the other group interviewed our international guests, asking fun and thoughtful questions. After some time, the groups switched so that everyone could experience both activities. The atmosphere was lively and full of ideas.
In the afternoon, we went on an exciting trip to Kaunas. With the help of our local guide, we discovered the city’s history, landmarks, and hidden corners. We took photos, laughed a lot, and enjoyed every minute. The evening ended with a disco night, where students from all countries danced together, shared stories, and truly felt like one big Erasmus family. It was a day we’ll never forget — full of creativity, laughter, and connection.
