“Sharing is Caring” Returns for New Students!
We’re delighted to invite all new full-time international and exchange students to our “Sharing is Caring” event! Explore a variety of items generously left behind by former students – all free of charge. You’ll find everything from kitchenware and electronics to study supplies, leisure items, household essentials, and much more.
Date: August 29, Friday
Time: 16:00 – 17:00
Location: Baltija Dormitory, Vytauto pr. 71, Kaunas (entrance)
If it rains, the event will be in the orangery – follow the arrows. In good weather, it will take place outside at the entrance.
The event will be organized by ESN VMU Kaunas in collaboration with the International Cooperation Department and Dormitory facilities. This traditional activity continues the sustainable efforts initiated by the DON@ project – Donation Opportunities for Newcomers. The initiative supports students with fewer opportunities by fostering inclusion, sustainability, and mutual support. Newcomer students will discover a wide range of free, useful items left by the previous cohort, including kitchenware, household essentials, sports equipment, and hobby supplies. All registered participants will also have a chance to win valuable prizes in a lottery, helping them feel at home in Kaunas!
Why you should come:
- Join a culture of sharing and save on expenses!
- Discover essential and useful items for your life in Kaunas, all for free (gently used or new)
- Win unique items in our lottery (at 16:30)
- Connect with fellow exchange and full-time students and make new friends.
- Contribute to reducing waste and lowering CO2 levels
