On December 13, In the spaces of Vilnius University Šiauliai Academy (VU ŠA), festive melodies sounded. The smell of natural beeswax and gingerbread cookies fluttered, inviting academic community members to meet the coziest holidays of the year together. The Academy's lecturers attended the Advent afternoon, and staff, students, and guests had the opportunity to participate in educational workshops, taste the most delicious baked goods and chat.
On November 25, at the festive community event "Colors of the Thirty Years," organized by the Šiauliai Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Crafts, the Vilnius University Šiauliai Academy was presented with an honorable award – a token of gratitude of the Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts.
As the admissions to Vilnius University have began and the start of the academic year approaches, the Vilnius University Students’ Representation (VU SR) invites all members of the VU community to help Ukrainian students fleeing from an unprecedented war that violates all international rights and building their future at Vilnius University by providing them with temporary accommodation - a spare room, a part of the house, an extra apartment, a garden house or other premises suitable for living.
Vilnius University and its partners from Arqus European University Alliance offer a massive open online course on challenge-based learning (CBL) in higher education.

The course consists of four units, each of which is 4 hours long.
The Talent Evening of the Vilnius University (VU) community, which has become a tradition, was held in the theater hall of VU on March 30th. The event, which usually took place in November, was included in the VU 443 Birthday events series this year.
All members of the VU community – both working and studying at the university – were traditionally invited to participate in the event. Talents from various fields could participate: singers, musicians, acrobats, poets, artists – the organizers requested applications from anyone who wanted to have their talent appreciated.
In the evening of talents, 18 performers were delighted with their performances, including three students of Šiauliai Academy of Vilnius University. Micheal Adente, a student of the regional development and management study programme from Nigeria, Giedrė Krasauskaitė, a student of the music pedegogy study programme and Alma Laužonytė, a doctoral student in the field of educational sciences, shared their talents with the Vilnius University community.
We are glad that Alma Laužonytė, phD student at Šiauliai Academy of Vilnius University, won the Talent Evening, who impressed the audience with the recited verses. The third place was awarded by the commission to Micheal Adente, a student of the regional development and management study programme who played the saxophone.
