About us

A trip to the whole class to the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, is the progress-symbolizing prize awarded to the 7a class from Petras Vileišis Secondary School, which won the 1st place in the competition “Most Advanced Class”.

Having returned from Stockholm, the schoolchildren are still living with the impression of the trip. Seventh graders state that the trip gave motivation to pursue higher study results also during the following school year. Moreover, the trip consolidated the class even more.

“Emotions are still running high, the trip was amazing. Sweden charmed us with her small islands, water transport. It has been the first time that the children went on a ferry and this gave them new experience. The schoolchildren have become better friends and have become like a family. They have discovered motivation to study, which lacked most of all before that. After all the school year has not started yet, but they are already thinking how they will work hard to become winners once again”, told Aušra Ražauskienė, the classroom teacher of the schoolchildren that won the competition “Most Advanced Class”.

 

 

Having acquired the name of the most advanced class, the seventh graders went on a trip by ship for the first time by visiting the capitals of the Baltic countries: Riga, Tallinn and Stockholm with the Nobel Museum situated in it. The schoolchildren shared their impressions and unanimously acknowledged that the trip redeemed any difficulties of their studies.

“The trip left tremendous impression; even those classmates, who show little interest in architecture, were carefully listening to the stories of the guide. When the guide said: please take a look, on the right there is a famous building, everyone would turn and keep looking at it. Everyone was very interested in that. Yet, the greatest impression was left by the Nobel Museum. It is so modern. A lot of discoveries there are put on exposition. I have also liked Tallinn, an extremely beautiful city. We have heard that the competition will be organised the next year too and we are determined to achieve another victory; the trip gave us the spirit to study”, shared the impressions the seventh grader Paulina Liukenskytė.

Ingrida Židonytė, another schoolgirl from the most advanced class, told that during the trip she loved the buildings of Stockholm most of all. The seventh grader admitted that it was really worthwhile studying, because for the efforts schoolchildren got an amusing trip.

“Impressions are very good. Our class has made close friends during the trip. Maybe this happened because of constant exchange in our impressions. I have really liked Vasa Ship. It is impressive. It was really worthwhile studying to get such a trip”, said the seventh grader Laura Senkutė.

The schoolchildren, who acquired the name of the most advanced class, expressed their gratefulness to Kaunas Power and Heat Plant and Kauno elektrinė, which organised the competition, for the possibility to see the capitals of the three countries with their own eyes and take a look at the world famous discoveries, exhibited at the Nobel Museum.

 

The schoolchildren visited not only the Nobel Museum but also went to Stockholm City Hall, visited the Church of the Knights, where the kings of Sweden are buried, the Royal Place and the Cathedral, situated next to the Palace and famous for the royal weddings.

Indelible impressions to the seventh graders from Petras Vileišis School were left by the famous Vasa Ship, which stayed on the bottom of the sea for 333 years.

 

 

The competition “Most Advanced Class” is the initiative of Kaunas Heat and Power Plant and Kauno elektrinė, which is implemented by the Public Relations Agency “Avenire”. The competition aims at encouraging the schoolchildren to pursue progress in their study results. Project “Most Advanced Class” was meant for the 5th to 11th graders from the comprehensive schools of Kaunas.

Competition of such kind, organised for the first time in Lithuania, attracted over one hundred classes from more than a half of comprehensive schools of Kaunas. Initiators of the project, which has received great attention, will invite the schoolchildren of Kaunas to participate in the competition “Most Advanced Class” the next year again.
