The excursion has been directed to broaden the horizons and explore the cultural and historical heritage of the neighboring countries.

The trip to Vilnius went through the ancient Lithuanian city of Trakay. Here, students and teachers of Humanitarian college of the Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno have visited the Trakay castle – the residence of the Lithuanian princes.
