It is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State and administered under policy guidelines established by the William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

So far the experience at VAA has been awesome! There are some very talented students here. I have also visited the other three campuses (Kaunas, Telšiai, and Klaipėda) and did a similar presentation as I did in Vilnius <...>
In Vilnius, I am team teaching a Sustainable Design workshop with Barbora Adamonytė and product design students from the second, third, and fourth year. They have different levels of skills but the the assignment works well with all levels. The workshop is called 'ReMatters' (named by the students) and it is a 'sustainable entrepreneur' project that involves creating 'up-cycled' kitchen products from reused or discarded materials.
Each student designs a product and then manufactures a quantity of 20 to be sold at at an exhibition on 13 December at the local business Denim Diaries. They experience creating a product from 'idea-to-store-shelf' and are responsible for each phase of development which includes producing 20 products, packaging, pricing, advertising/promotion, retail display, accounting, and each taking a shift working at the local design business selling the products for one week!
One of the goals of this experience is to help them in the future if they ever want to begin marketing or producing one of their own ideas.Professor Arūnas Ošlapas
