He delved into the pivotal role of social interaction, trust, rapport, and shared meaning in successful lessons. Nohejl&#8217;s approach, rooted in the moral philosophy traditions of the Scottish Enlightenment and modern cognitive science research on mirror neurons, highlighted the need for a &#8220;candidate-centered&#8221; educational framework to develop student-centered instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lecture emphasized the significance of imagination in bridging gaps, where sympathy, defined as harmony in action, played a central role. This harmony was closely tied to the resonance of mirror neurons, which react when actions are both performed and observed. From this perspective, snowsports instructors&#8217; education must prioritize the cultivation of skills that promote harmonious and mutual interaction during the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jiri Nohejl&#8217;s<\/strong> lecture provided valuable insights into the evolving landscape of snowsports instruction, highlighting the importance of empathy, effective communication, and a student-centered approach. This presentation further enriched LSIA&#8217;s contributions to INTERSKI 2023, underlining their dedication to advancing snowsports education and empowering instructors to create meaningful and engaging learning experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ieva Urbonavi\u010di\u016bt\u0117-Purk\u0117n\u0117: Stork Your Turn with Lithuanian Snowsports<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>During lecture, titled &#8220;Stork Your Turn with Lithuanian Snowsports&#8221;,<strong> Ieva Urbonavi\u010di\u016bt\u0117-Purk\u0117n\u0117<\/strong> shared Lithuania&#8217;s extraordinary journey, going from having no national organization to becoming an international snowsports organization, and gaining recognition at Interski. This engaging story deeply resonated with a nation, despite its flat terrain, passionately drawn to the thrill of skiing and snowboarding. The lecture highlighted how Lithuanian passions and hobbies transformed into ambitious aspirations for careers in snowsports racing and tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crucial turning point in this transformation was the establishment of the Lithuanian Snowsports Instructors Association in 2018, symbolizing a steadfast commitment to continuous improvement. The association&#8217;s motto, &#8220;Stork Your Turn,&#8221; not only pays homage to Lithuania&#8217;s heritage but also signifies a resolute dedication to progress and excellence in the field of snowsports education. <strong>Ieva Urbonaviciute-Purkene<\/strong> was the first Lithuanian to conceive the idea of forming such an association in Lithuania, where none existed before. Her visionary leadership and dedication served as a driving force behind this significant initiative. Ieva&#8217;s lecture served as a powerful testament to Lithuania&#8217;s unwavering spirit and determination to excel on the global stage of winter sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" src=\"http:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lecture-Ieva-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lecture-Ieva-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lecture-Ieva-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lecture-Ieva-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lecture-Ieva-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Lecture-Ieva.jpg 2040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>Ieva\u2019s<\/strong> lecture &#8220;Stork Your Turn with Lithuanian Snowsports&#8221;<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Biomechanics and Cognition: Learning from Mistakes<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop-605x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-985\" width=\"253\" height=\"431\"\/><figcaption><em>Moments from the on-snow workshop led by <strong>Tomas Mical<\/strong>, <strong>Jana Nohejlova<\/strong>, <strong>Jiri Nohejl<\/strong>, and <strong>Ieva Urbonaviciute-Purkene<\/strong>, titled &#8220;Biomechanics and Cognition: Learning from Mistakes.&#8221;<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop1-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-996\" width=\"244\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop1-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop1-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop1-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/snowpros.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Workshop1.jpg 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>Jiri <\/strong>leading the on-snow workshop, titled &#8220;Biomechanics and Cognition: Learning from Mistakes.&#8221;<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The LSIA delegation led an enlightening on-snow workshop titled &#8220;Biomechanics and Cognition: Learning from Mistakes.&#8221; This collaborative effort underscored the critical role of feedback mechanisms in the learning process, allowing participants to uncover the essential elements for achieving successful improvements.
