Short description of activities

A three-day camp where students arrive, live,and study as VU students. All participants attend a common part and are introduced to the university, then disperse to the desired faculties, and listen to lectures by lecturers and activities prepared by student mentors.

ECSTRA canvasing event helped the initiative to grow. Students now not only wait for incoming school students but also go to the schools themselves and introduce them to higher education and Vilnius University.
