Science communication workshop

The Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) invites students, researchers, and staff of T4EU partner universities to join the Science Communication Workshop “Communicating Sustainability Sustainably: Case Studies on Burnout and Being the Change“

The workshop will take place on 3 and 10 December 2025, from 15.00-17.00 (EET / UTC+2), via MS Teams.

How to put scientific knowledge about the ecological and societal shifts ahead into practice? The two-part lecture and seminar provide personal insights into several projects designed to raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire behavioral change, with particular attention to their organisational dimensions. Can we truly “be the change we need” without facing burnout or hypocrisy? How can one navigate the balance between integrity and strategic compromise?

  • First session on 3 December: a lecture offering reflections and personal insights from the facilitator, accompanied by selected reading materials.
  • Second session on 10 December: the aim is to create an open and thoughtful space for dialogue and sharing experiences and ideas on how to communicate sustainability in a sustainable way.

Would you like to “taste”… a language?

As part of the Transform4Europe alliance, we are excited to invite our students, faculty, and staff to join a unique experience: a “taste” of languages!

For the third year in a row, the Vytautas Magnus University Institute of Foreign Languages is offering Language Tasters, online events focused on minor and lesser-taught languages.

While not everyone may choose to study a rare language, these one-hour sessions allow us to explore new sounds, phrases, and cultures with guidance from native speakers.

This year, we are invited to “taste” four languages: Taiwanese and Chinese, the Canadian-Ukrainian dialect, Indonesian, and Uzbek.

Sessions will be held in English and led by current or former international students from Vytautas Magnus University.

The events will take place each week of November on MS Teams.

Please keep in mind that the time indicated is EET. Please check the time according to your time zone here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html

Join us for this enriching intercultural experience!
