리투아니아 샤울라이 대학교의 사회공헌활동

 

Saule, a student organization, promoting Lithuanian culture

 
Siauliai University, the largest university in northern Lithuania operates many research centers and organizations such as a Volunteer Center, Rural Development Research Center, Modeling of Physical Processes, Special Education and the list goes on.
The employees of the Research Centre of Energy and Environmentally Clean Technologies organize scientific conferences, conduct research projects based on the orders by Siauliai and other municipalities and enterprises, as well as having annual presentations at scientific conferences. The co-workers of the center take part in the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Also, they constantly advise businesses, organizations and citizens on the issues of energy efficiency. The Rural Development Research Center organizes comparable non-urban and remote areas economic and social development research and initiates new research directions for rural development. It helps to improve rural areas situations and enhance students’ knowledge about European Union funded projects. The Faculty of Social Welfare and Disabilities Studies students last year established a Health Center in which citizens have an opportunity to try back, face and full body massages, as well as take physiotherapy consultation and sessions. The center also provides art therapy, consultations about children with emotional and behavior problems or failures.
The University has founded a Career Center which provides training and seminars for students and society about how to successfully adapt in the labor market. Famous managers, company’s presidents or government representatives conduct seminars once a month, share their success stories, and give advice on how to handle essential situations. Art faculty students try to contribute with society as much as possible. They are arranging free concerts in the city, there are some groups which are making concerts not just in Europe but also in Columbia, USA, and Japan. Audiovisual Arts students are making free professional photos of city events, weddings and celebrations. We are a small university compared to other universities but many times we have proved that size is not important.
