The BET project participants visited several important cultural sites in and around Vilnius, Lithuania. At Europos Parkas, an outdoor art museum, students viewed sculptures by famous artists and enjoyed the natural scenery. In Vilnius, the group explored the historic Old Town and important landmarks like the Gates of Dawn chapel and St. Anne's Church. They also visited Trakai Castle, located on an island in a lake, before returning to Druskininkai. Students documented their experiences through photos and presentations.
We visited the Antanas Cesnulis Sculpture Park in Druskininkai, where we saw fascinating wood sculptures, some with internal mechanisms that allowed movement or sounds. We were introduced to Lithuanian culture through traditional foods and dances. Later, our group split up between the Uno park, with tree climbing, and the famous aqua water park in Druskininkai, which had multiple pools, saunas, and waterslides, including one that simulated ocean waves. I enjoyed the aqua park experience. Overall, it was a memorable first day of activities.
