RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES IN CULTURAL CENTRES
Virginija Jureniene, Ausra Andre Stonyte
ABSTRACT. The objective of this paper is to analyse the role of cultural centres in the context of recreation. The following research question is discussed: what role do cultural centres play in the process of recreation. The situation of the Lithuanian national culture is discussed, and the role of cultural centres in enhancing the traditional Lithuanian culture is analysed, but the role of cultural centres in recreation of communities is not analysed. The cultural recreation activities and their organisation have not been studied by the Lithuanian scientists; thus, the effective organisation of recreational activities requires more profound studies and their application. Moreover, it is essential to raise the competences of the cultural centre employees and educate the society. The empirical analysis of data allows presupposing that the cultural centres are organising the recreational activities in Lithuania .
