Last week, Gintaras Steponavicius, CCG’s Director for CEE+ region and former Minister of Education of Lithuania, attended the “Teachers of Tomorrow” festival in Lviv, where over 2,500 educators gathered to discuss the future of education in Ukraine. Gintaras shared his insights on education reform, including teacher training and bullying prevention, and met with key figures such as the Ukrainian Minister of Education Oksen Lisovyi to explore further collaboration.

This week, CCG’s Aziz Boussofiane and Anzhela Stashchak facilitated a three-day strategic workshop at the Transport and Telecommunication Institute (TSI) in Latvia, helping to shape the university’s strategy for 2025-2030. The workshop marked an important step in guiding TSI’s future direction, and we look forward to the developments that will come from this collaboration.

Last week, CCG had an incredible time at the NAFSA conference! Over three days, our team engaged with industry leaders and explored new opportunities for collaboration in international education. Thank you to everyone who met with us and contributed to these productive discussions.

We’re excited to be in New Orleans for the 2024 NAFSA Annual Conference! Our team is reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones.

All at CCG were devastated to hear of the passing of Charlene, who had been an Associate of CCG for the past three years. Charlene was a wonderful colleague, always available to share her skills and experience with staff and clients alike.  She will be deeply missed!

Concluding the Central Asia mission, a vibrant forum was held in a traditional Kazakh yurt, hosted by the Eurasian Technological University. Key speakers included Sayasat Nurbek, Minister of Education and Science of Kazakhstan, Stephen Brennan, Deputy Country Director of the British Embassy in Astana, and Aliya Ospanova from the Bolashak Foundation. The delegation visited campuses like De Montfort University, Kazakh National Pedagogical University, and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, along with an international partnerships forum and networking event.

CG's Central Asia Mission kicked off in Tashkent at the "Internationalising Higher Education" Forum, supported by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Innovations of Uzbekistan. With over 70 local university reps and 100+ one-to-one meetings, it marked a new record!

We were delighted to meet up with the senior international team at VILNIUS TECH - Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, a university we have worked with for almost 15 years and one of the very best in the Baltic.

It was a pleasure to discuss existing and new partnerships with UK and US universities.

It was amazing to get most of the CCG team together last weekend in Lithuania for a couple of days for team building and planning.

As a company, we are used to working remotely and many colleagues had never met face to face but we are delighted to report we all got on really well!
