International Winter School for Doctoral Students on Education in Druskininkai

For four years now, the beginning of December has become a memorable occasion for PhD students in the field of Educational Sciences, as the Vilnius University community organises the ongoing International Winter School for PhD students in Educational Sciences in Druskininkai. From 4-7 December, the Doctoral Winter School focused on the research of young researchers in the field of education on the following topical areas: pedagogy, didactics, teacher education, formal and non-formal education, higher education, educational technology, computational thinking, STEM, and aspects of globalisation and modern technology education.

Thanks to this year’s large team of 20 researchers, professors, lecturers and consultants from universities in Lithuania, France, Portugal, Great Britain, Germany, Poland, Estonia and Hungary presented their expert insights. The same number of 20 PhD students, selected by the jury, presented research projects investigating contemporary issues, worked in thematic groups, presented posters, and took part in discussions on how to improve the design of research projects. They delved deeper into the speakers’ presentations, raised dilemmas, participated in intensive practical sessions on what it means to be a PhD student in their own country, and gained new insights and ideas on PhD research for further reflection.
