The PICASP project aims to develop new teaching methods in collaboration with Practical Enterprises, design courses on entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized business management, create academic programs, and facilitate the employment of graduates.
The event in Vilnius served as a platform to explore the potential opportunities of the project, foster cooperation among project teams, and exchange best practices.
Project participants actively engaged in a series of seminars covering various topics such as “SMART Tourism and Innovative Application of Modern Technologies in the Tourism Industry,” “Overview of Lithuania’s Heritage Preservation System,” “History and Cultural Heritage of Lithuanian Jews,” and “Potential Applications of Virtual Tourism in Lithuania.” Additionally, participants had the opportunity to visit historical landmarks, including the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, the Gediminas Castle Tower, the National Museum of Lithuania, and the historic city of Vilnius.
