Representatives of educational institutions, NGOs, and specialists working with teachers took part in the event “Integrating Jewish Heritage into the Education System.” From Lithuania, the event was attended by Arūnė Vaičiūnaitė – Levuškinienė, a specialist at the Meilė Lukšienė Education Centre in Marijampolė.
During the event, discussions were held to share experiences and challenges in integrating heritage into the education system.

According to the Lithuanian participant, Arunė Vaičiūnaitė – Levuškinienė, “such a seminar not only provides theoretical knowledge, broadens horizons and understanding, but is also a great opportunity to meet educators from other countries and share best practices.”
