On February 16-18, 2017 Vilnius Business College representatives, Deimantė Vilcinskaite and Joana Lapkovskaja together with 2^nd year students Anna Karelina and Yahor Belimenka participated at the 15th international specialized exhibition EDUCATION AND CAREER in Minsk, Belarus and presented VBC study programs and ongoing projects, including Unity in Diversity. VBC degree programs in Russian and/or English attracted lots of attention from the Belarusian youth, who are looking for opportunities to study in Lithuania and acquire European higher education diploma. The study programs Hospitality and Event Management and English and International Communication received the most attention. An interactive blended learning language course to be created in the frames of „Unity in Diversity” raised an interest among visitors: pupils, parents, teachers, and our partners from Belarusian State University.

On February 17 Deimantė was also invited to Gomel, where she had an opportunity to introduce the College degree programs and Unity in Diversity project to the local youth. In Gomel also new contacts with the Belarusian State Transport University were established.
