Program

LCC International University is an international learning community, with students representing over 20 different countries, including Albania, Belarus, Canada, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Nigeria, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, the United States and others.

The purpose of the Intercultural Programs is to provide intercultural education within an international community and to aid international students in their transition from country of origin to Lithuania, and to LCC community.

The program contributes to students' education by fostering international community, and providing intercultural education. Through intercultural events, students come together and discuss diversity, culture, history, and build community. It is our belief that these interactions strengthen the bonds of diversity that exist at LCC.

Office of Intercultural Programs hopes that International students at LCC will:

• Develop healthy cultural pride
• Become community educators
• Practice cultural and racial sensitivity
• Develop intercultural communication skills
• Practice conflict transformation
• Receive resources for integrations into a new culture
