Honoring the Legacy of Francysk Skaryna: a Commemorative Sign of Enlightenment

In the heart of Vilnius, a city that has long been a haven for learning and culture, there stands an institution committed to fostering the spirit of knowledge and enlightenment. The European Humanities University (EHU) has been a beacon of education, scholarship, and intellectual growth for students from all corners of the world. Now, we embark on a journey to pay tribute to a true pioneer of knowledge – Francysk Skaryna – by installing a commemorative sign that will stand as a testament to the enduring power of education and the indomitable human spirit.

The Legacy of Francysk Skaryna

Francysk Skaryna, a 16th-century Belarusian scholar, printer, and humanist, made an indelible mark on the world of literature and publishing. His remarkable achievement was the first printing of the Bible in the Belarusian edition of the Church Slavonic language, making it accessible to a wider audience and sparking a cultural renaissance in Eastern Europe. Skaryna’s work embodies the values of enlightenment, education, and the sharing of knowledge, principles that EHU holds dear.

The Vision

At EHU, we believe in the transformative power of education, just as Skaryna did centuries ago. We envision a commemorative sign that captures the essence of his groundbreaking work and the enduring impact of learning. Our goal is to create a commemorative sign that will not only honor Skaryna’s legacy but also inspire generations of scholars, students, and intellectuals to pursue their quest for knowledge and enlightenment.

Why Your Support Matters: Installing this commemorative sign is a significant undertaking, one that requires the collective effort and support of our global community. Your donation will help us turn this vision into reality. By contributing to this project, you are not only preserving the memory of Francysk Skaryna but also investing in the future of education and the pursuit of knowledge.
