Abstract
XX a. pabaiga – XXI a. pradžia – didžiulis lūžis pasaulio ir žmonijos politiniame, ekonominiame, socialiniame gyvenime, ekologijoje. Vyksta iki šiol nepatirta globalizacija, kai paskiros kultūros vystosi link pasaulinės civilizacijos konglomeracijos. Dėl sparčios visų gyvenimo sričių asimiliacijos ir integracijos gali išnykti paskiros civilizacijos, tautos ir kultūros. Šie klausimai aktualūs ne tik socialinėms ar politinėms grupėms, tai žmonijos išlikimo branduolinių ir kitų visa naikinančių ginklų prikimštame pasaulyje klausimas.Lietuvių kalba pasirodžiusi Kazachstano prezidento Nursultano Nazarbajevo knyga „G-Global: XXI amžiaus pasaulis“ iškart patraukė įvairių visuomenės sluoksnių dėmesį nauju požiūriu, kurį dėsto pasaulyje žinomas, didelę patirtį turintis politikas.
Šie klausimai jam žinomi ne tik teoriškai, bet ir iš politinio bei diplomatinio gyvenimo praktikos. Ji tapo viena skaitomiausių ne tik politikų ar verslo žmonių, bet ir aukštųjų mokyklų studentų, studijuojančių politikos, ekonomikos, vadybos ir socialinius mokslus, knygų.

Abstract
125 years ago, the mission of the Lithuanian literary, political, and scientific newspaper Varpas (The Bell) published under the Czarist occupation was to interpret the issues of the national life, to raise the nation’s spirit, and to awaken and strengthen the national self-consciousness. Among other issues, the publishers devoted great attention to a fundamental human need, i.e. the maintenance of identity and its relationship to faith (Catholicism). Religion and language were interpreted as closely related phenomena and as the nation’s values of utmost significance for the maintenance of the national identity. Religion, language, and customs were so closely related that the destruction of one could undermine the fundaments of the other elements. People who had learnt their native language from their mothers, and later had disowned it, could have also questioned another legacy of the mother, i.e. faith. As demonstrated in the paper, the henchmen of the czarist government tended to simultaneously destroy both Catholicism and Lithuanianness in different ways, especially during the reign of Mikhail Muravjov. The authors of Varpas considered the Orthodox church to be the main factor of Lithuanians’ assimilation which tried to attract Lithuanians in different ways; another important factor of influence was school which taught children different subjects, even religious studies, in a non-native language. In the implementation of that kind of Muravjov’s strategy, some clergy collaborated with the invaders

Abstract
During the soviet times pedagogy in Latvia develops in difficult and controversial conditions. It becomes a specific area of influence and a propaganda tool, in which ideologised guidelines of soviet pedagogy prevail. So far Soviet experience in education theory and practice (1940–1941, 1944–1990) has not been fully identified and evaluated because it is “recent” history. People living during the soviet times have developed self-experience, based on which conclusions can be made. At the same time young people develop this experience in their daily life (communicating with people, watching and reading in the mass media), thus based on other people’s experience. One of the sources promoting teachers’ historical experience is study courses The History of Pedagogy and Literature Didactics, in which future teachers gain knowledge about the historical development of pedagogy, learn different ideas proposed by famous educators, acquire skill in analysing pedagogical ideas in the context of a particular historical period, assess different offerings of pedagogy and their application in nowadays pedagogical situations. At the same time in the study course Literature Didactics future teachers enrich their knowledge about the development of Didactics of Latvian Literature during the soviet period, master their skills in critical evaluation of study contents, study programs, materials, additional materials, study aims, methods and approaches as well as teacher student interaction during the lesson.

Abstract
The process of internationalization and awareness of the other are procedures of presently existing strategies in higher education. Currently, as a part of transcultural education, a growing amount of alternative cross-border educational programs are offered. Critics have suggested that practices focus less on contemporary gender issues in international educations than on issues of language and culture. Globally, employees in health and social care professions are predominantly female, which thus attracts reflective learning on issues connected to gender. This article illuminates an example where Swedish and Danish nursing students participating in an exchange program in Öresund Region have shown gender responsiveness and preconceptions during their clinical practice abroad. Further, this article proposes some ways forward to a more pedagogical approach to increase vocational awareness of gender issues.
