Description of Our Community: The American International School of Vilnius is located in Vilnius, Lithuania. We are a small school of about 250 students, grades pre-K-12, who come from over 25 countries around the world. Vilnius is a town of around 500,000 people with an Old Town area that is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Lithuanian people are exceptionally proud of their heritage, culture, and language, with good reason.

Project Description: The AISV 9th grade class will be creating a website about Kaziuko Muge, or Saint Casimir's Fair. Saint Casimir is Lithuania's patron saint and the fair, a lively combination of folk arts, crafts, music, dance, theatre and food, dates back to the beginning of the seventeenth century. It is traditionally held in the city markets and streets of the Vilnius Old Town. The website will contain music, video, images, historical information, interviews, traditional Lithuanian craft ideas and much more.
