Purpose and Meaning Prize

The Purpose and Meaning Prize was established by Language and Communication Centre in 2008.

The award aims to motivate schoolchildren to pursue their purpose boldly and make sense of their work and endeavours.

Each year the award makes an addition to Šilas School’s Gallery of Honour previously launched as part of the Encourage the Future project.

The award was initiated by PhD Asta Kupčinskaitė-Ryklienė, Managing Director of KKC and an alumnus of Ukmergė Šilas School. Asta has been elected to the school’s Gallery of Honour by the school’s community. The Purpose and Meaning Prize has set up a strong tradition of Šilas School and KKC.
