Jesuit Schools European Sports Tournament in Vilnius

JeSET Vilnius 2010 (Jesuit Schools European Sports Tournament) organised by Vilnius Jesuit High School in Lithuania responds to its beginners - the tournamanet organised in Spain in 1991 and its successor, Saveriadi 2006 that took place in Rome, Italy, four years ago. Those events gave a stimulus for potential succession of sports cooperation between the youngsters of Jesuit schools of Europe.

JeSET aims to offer the students a possibility to meet their peers, to learn how different and similar they are, to get a taste of Ignatian spirituality, to get acquainted different cultures and to challenge in fair play at sports events. Obviously, at the end of the events we saw happy faces, heard sincere thanks and questions when next JeSET is going to be organised. We hope that this eye-to-eye contact through the way of sports proved to be a very successful way of communication between different Jesuit schools. We are also very glad that this tournament greatly commemorated the jubilee of 15 years since the school has been restored and the 440th year of the establishment of Collegium Vilnense Societatis Jesu (the earliest form of Vilnius Jesuit High School).
