Erasmus+ Courses in Lithuania

Why Lithuania is Europe's Best-Kept Secret for Erasmus+

Ask any educator who's trained in Vilnius and they'll tell you the same thing: "Why didn't I discover this place sooner?" Lithuania's capital is that rare combination of stunning beauty, rich history, modern infrastructure, and exceptional value that makes it the hidden gem of Erasmus+ destinations.

Vilnius Old Town—the largest Baroque old town in Eastern Europe—is a UNESCO World Heritage site where every cobblestone street tells a story. But this isn't a museum city frozen in time. Vilnius pulses with creative energy, home to one of Europe's most dynamic startup scenes, cutting-edge digital infrastructure, and a café culture that rivals any Western European capital. It's a city where medieval churches share space with co-working spaces, where street art complements Gothic architecture.

For educators, Lithuania offers something special: it's one of the EU's most digitized societies, making it an ideal destination for courses on educational technology and digital skills. The country has embraced innovation while maintaining its cultural soul—a balance that provides rich material for reflection on how we integrate technology into our teaching without losing the human element.

And then there's the value proposition. As a Group 3 country in Erasmus+ funding, Lithuania offers lower costs without any compromise on quality. Your daily allowance stretches further here—quality hotels for €50-70/night, excellent meals for €10-15, and cultural experiences that cost a fraction of what you'd pay in Western Europe.
