From 20 to 24 October 2025, Lithuania\u2019s Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) hosted the ATHENA Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) on \u201cSustainability of Student Organisations”.<\/p>

Implementing the BIP, representatives of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute \u2013 Iryna Simkova<\/strong> and Yuliana Lavrysh<\/strong>, professors at the Faculty of Linguistics \u2013 delivered lectures and conducted workshops on the resilience of student organisations, knowledge management for sustainability goals, and effective collaboration in multicultural teams.<\/p>

A thought-provoking discussion on the future of ATHENA Student Organisations was initiated by Konstantinos Petridis<\/strong>, ATHENA Academic Coordinator, Vice-Rector of Internationalisation and Extroversion at the Hellenic Mediterranean University.<\/p>

BIP participants explored how student organisations can evolve, enhance engagement, ensure continuity and strengthen their overall impact. The teams worked out thoughtful action plans for the near future, rich in creative and practicable ideas.<\/p>

The programme offered a unique opportunity for members of the ATHENA Student Board, Students\u2019 Representations, ESN ATHENA and other student-led organisations to hone their leadership and teamwork skills while forming useful cross-border connections.<\/p>

The participants earned 3 ECTS in Organisational Behaviour and Leadership \u2013 and, more importantly, gained insights and networks that will support the sustainability of student initiatives both within the ATHENA Alliance and beyond.<\/p>

It is worth noting too that despite Russia\u2019s ongoing\u00a0 war of aggression against Ukraine and frequent power outages, Kyiv Polytechnic students Sviatoslav Shesterov<\/strong> and Sofiia Marushchenko<\/strong> were able to join their peers from other countries, build meaningful connections, and make a remarkable contribution to the teamwork and shared vision of sustainability.<\/p>
