At VU Faculty of Communication, we believe that our role extends beyond offering diverse study programmes, fostering active research community, and nurturing talented students and skilled academics. We are also committed to shaping a more progressive and ambitious future and contributing to the development of the communication field in Lithuania. Guided by this vision, Assoc. Prof. Dr Kšištof Tolkačevski, Vice-Dean for Studies at the Faculty of Communication, helped the Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania organise internships in the field of communication for young Taiwanese professionals. The initiative has been successful: five young Taiwanese participants are currently undertaking communication internships at various companies and institutions in Lithuania as part of the Taiwan Global Pathfinders Initiative, a programme funded by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education.
