\u201cImportance of internationalizing and collaboration\u201d
\n<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>March 29th<\/sup> 10.15<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noora Kahra works in International Services at Tampere University of Applied Sciences, Finland. She is a Senior Adviser, concentrating on the international strategic partnerships of TAMK. N. Kahra has a long background in international affairs of higher education, working to promote internationalizing within the community of university of applied sciences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to encourage staff members, both lecturers and support staff to engage into international activities. I strongly believe that by doing this, our students benefit from it in many ways. Internationalising can be so much more than exchanges and possibilities are endless, especially when co-operation is followed by collaboration. But it needs to involve us all. Internationalising fosters collaboration and the value of both is not only in the outcomes but in the impact both can create,\u201d says N. Kahra.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnologies Today. What Happens Next?\u201d
\n<\/strong>March 29th<\/sup> 10.50\u201311.30<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mr. Elijus \u010civilis currently leads LTG Digital at the largest railway group in Baltic states with responsibility to drive digital transformation at the front seat. In his previous role he was vice-minister at the Ministry of Economy and Innovation leading national “Digital Agenda”. Previous to that, he spent more than twelve years at IBM.<\/p>\n

In his presentation Mr. \u010civilis will demystify technology phenomena explaining the concept of digital transformation and role of emerging technologies. You will be given some real use cases on how technologies shape companies and countries. Finally, practical advice on how to survive in the ever changing world.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology now takes a central role in disrupting business and economies. Many of those like AI, Blockchain or Cloud come in with big hype and you never know if it is yet another fashionable keyword or a real tsunami,\u201d says E. \u010civilis.<\/p>\n

\u201cPromoting the Creativity and Storytelling Skills of Pre-School Children\u201d
\n<\/strong>March 30th<\/sup> 9.30\u201310.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Agrita Tauri\u0146a is an associate professor at the University of Latvia and works in the Preschool and Primary Education Department of the Faculty of Pedagogy, Psychology and Art. Her research work relates to issues connected to the development of speech of preschool children, the promotion of children’s responsibility, autonomy and creative activity. In cooperation with pre-school educational institutions and students of the University of Latvia, she participates in the evaluation and development of experience materials.<\/p>\n

Tija Z\u012bri\u0146a, Dr. Psych., professor, Faculty of Pedagogy, Psychology and Art, University of Latvia. She will be giving presentation with A. Tauri\u0146a. T. Z\u012bri\u0146a is working in pre-school teacher training for 25 years. Her subjects are educational and developmental psychology. T. Z\u012bri\u0146a is also involved in the research about children language acquisition for native and bilingual speakers. She has a long term cooperation in \u201cErasmus+\u201d projects with different academic institutions in Europe including Kaunas University of Applied Sciences.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cTo promoting the creativity and storytelling skills of preschool children it is essential to deal with problem solving situations. These activities facilitate the development of personality, self-esteem and self-confidence, promote abilities of children,\u201d says speakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new pre-school education approach has reduced the number of items, but more attention is devoted to the growth of a child’s personality, the development of the environment and implementation of child’s autonomy, responsibility and humanitarian values. We think that experimental pedagogies, open-air pedagogies and socialisation and education theories can provide answers to the international questions of modern teacher practitioners by introducing the new competence approach,\u201d says A. Tauri\u0146a and T. Z\u012bri\u0146a.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmotional intelligence\u201d
\n<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>March 30th<\/sup> 10.10\u201313.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psychologist Andrius \u0160mitas will talk about emotional intelligence. “During this International Week, I will talk briefly about emotional intelligence, emotional and social competencies, which are important in various professions,” says A. \u0160mitas, who is currently studying for a Ph.D.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy should you hear this message? Because emotional and social competences (such as self-control of emotions as one of them) are important in communicating with people from different cultures,\u201d reveals A. \u0160mitas.<\/p>\n

Workshop \u201c<\/strong>Responsible food consumption\u201d

\"\"<\/a>Irina Koscelkovskien\u0117 is a lecturer in the Faculty of Technologies at Kaunas University of Applied Sciences. She will give a presentation, during which the problems of food consumption and its waste will be discussed and solutions will be presented.<\/p>\n

“Today, sustainable production and consumption are particularly relevant on a global scale, as they are closely linked to climate change, water, air and soil pollution, rising CO2 emissions and irresponsible consumption. The future of our planet and the well-being of our children depend on all these factors,\u201d says I.
