According to the International Council for the Professional Development of Trainers (ICCE, 2018), there are currently around 9 million in Europe. health instructors, coaches. The need for these specialists, especially in the field of health promotion physical activity, is constantly increasing, therefore it is very important for the countries of the European Union to foresee the most unified results of the work of sports specialists (developed competencies) and accordingly to prepare these specialists according to them, at the same time to ensure better integration of these specialists into the labor market their changing needs. Health instructors must continually adapt to changing market needs, continuously improve their knowledge and skills, engage in innovation in the work of a health instructor, where information and communication learning and development processes, based on continuous renewal, using new and advanced technologies, ensure survival in a competitive environment. . The introduction of modern technological tools increases the innovativeness of the health instructors' development, improves the acquisition of new knowledge, and makes it more attractive to convey the training materials to the clients. With the latest ICT, it is important to understand the importance of technology and learn how to apply it in order to ensure an effective process of improvement and its quality. The importance of using ICT in the health instructor development process is enormous, as the use of different programs can individualize the development process and select the amount of training material and the pace of development according to one's own abilities. The technology-based wellness instructor development process allows you to choose what ensures comfort and individuality (Larison et al. 2012). ICT tools for health instructors allow you to get the most up-to-date information today. Using technology-based enhancement, in many cases, the provision of learning conditions for the ultimate instructive health instructor is ensured, taking into account individual time, pace, location, learning opportunity and the principles of autonomous individualized learning (Abromavičienė et al. 2013). The application of technologies in the work of a health instructor changes the situation of improvement and training and allows the learners themselves to change. Wide perspectives for health instructors are introduced by the introduction and use of the latest ICT in the development process, enabling you to communicate everywhere and always, keep in touch with others, then feel safe and believe that you can achieve better results.

The majority of new state programmes and strategies focus on major goals – a prosperous, democratic state. The guarantee of every democratic, strong and public-spirited state are active, competent, right-and-duty aware citizens. Thus, the organisation of primary education with an integrated legal education is very important. The goal of the thesis: to reveal the possibilities of ICT application while implementing legal education in primary classroom. Objectives: 1. To analyse the situation of legal education in primary education. 2. To discuss the peculiarities of ICT application in primary education. 3. To research the experience of primary teachers in legal education and applying ICT. Methods: the analysis and generalisation of scientific and methodological literature on the master's topic. Semi-structured interview. The analysis and generalisation of the data using a qualitative content analysis method. Main conclusions: ICT is very important in primary education. A primary teacher should mainly focus on the opportunities that ICT provides. Educational software enables the application of various methods, lead to the individualisation and differentiation of the teaching process and allows the important and complicated material to be presented in an easier and more attractive way. The analysis of the interview of the primary teachers revealed that the teachers are in favour of legal education at school. However, the curriculum does not contain law as a separate subject. As the teachers noted, legal education in primary classroom is implemented by integrating it with other subjects: moral education, languages, science, physical education. It is also combined with extra-curricular activities such as self-government, different clubs, class meetings. After the analysis of legal literature accessibility in primary classroom, it is clear that the textbooks do not contain enough legal material, thus, teachers have to find additional material themselves and adapt it to children's age, goals and objectives of the lesson.

Doctoral dissertation contributes theoretically and empirically to the research stream of co-creation by focusing on the ICT-enabled collective actions of citizens, communities, governmental organizations, business entities, NGOs and other stakeholders in the creation of public value. The object of the research is the public value co-creation in Lithuanian and international civic technology platforms. The goal of the research was to propose an ICT-Enabled Co-Creative Ecosystem model aimed at the development of public value. Theoretical aspects of ICT-enabled public value co-creation were examined using meta-analysis, comparative analysis and generalization methods of related scientific research. The empirical investigations were based on phenomenological research strategy and qualitative research triangulation approach. Three complementary empirical studies have been conducted – expert interviews, mapping and qualitative content analysis of Lithuanian civic technology platforms and comparative content analysis of international civic technology platforms. The completed research activities allowed to build an in-depth working knowledge of the public value co-creation domain and its performance, outputs and impacts. In the light of the main observations that have emerged from the design of ICT-Enabled Co-Creative Ecosystem Model, it has become possible to develop recommendations aimed at increasing the co-creative capacities of governmental, private and civic entities.

An approach of creating of intelligent e-health care environment by describing project of development of VIHforSIAP is proposed. The main project oriented for assessment of selected elements some of those should be the most appropriate to create a Virtual Intelligent House (VIH) for Socially Isolated and Aging People (SIAP). Project contributes towards impacts listed in the work of Seventh Framework Programme of European Union in relation to the topics of ICT for independent living and inclusion and Accessible and Inclusive ICT (Challenge 3.7, ICT-2007.7.2). This paper describes the strategy of ICT addressed for independent living and inclusion for the aged population and people with high rate of incapacity. Thus, proposed here ICTs application of the aged population probably increases her quality of life and significant prolongs intense independent life with participation in the economics and society.

The contemporary information & communication technologies (ICT) will not, by themselves, resolve the issues, faced by Lithuanian public administration in designing & implementing its policies. This is the major argument of the article, supported by the available empirical information & various secondary sources. Why the bureaucracy, which is often considered as being slow, inflexible & inertic should suddenly change due to the mere fact of ICT being purchased & installed? The answer is often based on some intuitive logic, which is called in this article the "ideal model of e-government." The first of the assumptions in this model claim that the public sector has the right skills to select the relevant technology. The next assumption is that once the technology is installed, it will be used competently & open-mindedly -- with the right capacities, motivations & leaders available to do that. In turn, if the technology is used competently, one can indeed expect improvements in public policy making & implementation: organizational change, better inter-institutional co-operation, development of e-services, etc. Notably, many ICT projects in the public sector fail & Lithuania is no exception in this respect. The investment does not necessarily lead to a meaningful organizational change, it does not enhance co-operation between institutions & does not improve communication & trust between the citizens & the state. Surely, the e-government is a rather new development, so one should hardly expect that all the visions will be successful outright. However, while at least some of the major problems may be anticipated in advance, the solutions are not always clear-cut. In order to take a full advantage of the ICT potential in the public sector, a clear choice of an actual model of public administration is necessary. Here a number of classic dilemmas may be identified -- regarding the relations between the public & the private sectors, internal control within the organization, sharing of responsibilities between organizations, etc. It is argued in the article that the answers to these questions in Lithuania are clear only in the official strategies & statements. Meanwhile the practice shows, that the relations between the public & the private sector are unbalanced, organizations lack the culture of critically assessing their achievements, institutions are carefully avoiding "interference" from outside into their internal matters & government is far from being conceived as a "service" to the citizens. It is also noted, that the differences between the official rhetoric & the practice may well be explained by the experience of both the soviet period as well as the accession to the EU: the institutions developed the skill of flexible adjustment to the dominant discourse without finding it necessary to change the essence of policy process. All in all, while the ICT do provide opportunities for improvement of public management, in order to take a full advantage of these opportunities it is necessary to resolve some of the classical dilemmas of public administration. In order to do that, some deeper changes of attitudes, values, & culture are necessary both in the public sector as well as in the society at large. Therefore, notwithstanding the expectation of the big change towards modernization of public sector the old saying of "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose" is applicable for estimating the potential of the ICT to change the public sector.

SUMMARY: EU's Information Society Programmes in the Context of Knowledge Economy Globalization and rapid Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development are main reasons for information and knowledge becoming of a great importance. In the present day market scenario of intense competition, every country needs to know what they know and be able to leverage on its information and knowledge base to gain competitive advantage. Because of the rapid information use in the society's everyday life, every country has to create new information society, which is able effectively use information and ICT. One of the European Union (EU) objectives is to make sure that Europe's business, governments and citizens continue to play a leading role in shaping and participating in the global knowledge and information based economy The world economy is moving from a predominantly industrial society to a new set of rules - the information society. What is emerging is often referred to as the new economy. It has tremendous potential for growth, employment and inclusion. Yet Europe is not fully exploiting this potential as it is not moving fast enough into the digital age. The underpinning dynamics of the new economy are strong. Digital technologies make accessing, processing, storing and transmitting information increasingly cheaper and easier. The sheer scale of information available creates huge opportunities for its exploitation through the development of new products and services. Transforming digital information into economic and social value is the basis of the new economy, creating new industries, changing others and profoundly affecting citizens' lives. However, technologies and markets today move at a much faster pace than perhaps ever before in economic history. There is no time to wait until these policies deliver. The change happening now will reshape the European economy and society within the lifetime of this Commission. A major effort has to be made to advance certain policies ahead of the current schedule. This is why an initiative – eEurope - needs to be taken now. The objective of the eEurope initiative is ambitious. It aims to bring everyone in Europe - every citizen, every school, and every company - online as quickly as possible. In launching the partnership for growth and jobs as a new start for the Lisbon strategy, the 2005 Spring European Council called knowledge and innovation the engines of sustainable growth and stated that it is essential to build a fully inclusive information society, based on the widespread use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in public services, SMEs and households. Information and communication technologies are a powerful driver of growth and employment. Differences in economic performances between industrialised countries are largely explained by the level of ICT investment, research, and use, and by the competitiveness of information society and media industries. ICT services, skills, media and content are a growing part of the economy and society.
