Kristina Celiešiūtė

Deputy Director for Basic Education, Economics and Entrepreneurship Teacher. She began her teaching career in 2001. In the new challenges of the education reform, she discovered what has since become her passion – entrepreneurship education. This marked the beginning of an important stage in her professional journey, which continues to this day. In 2006, after earning her Master’s degree in Education from Vytautas Magnus University, she dedicated her focus to both formal and non-formal student education, especially in the field of entrepreneurship, as well as to international and local project activities. She is also an Erasmus+ coordinator (strategic partnerships and school exchanges) and a long-standing member of the Kaunas City Economics and Entrepreneurship Teachers’ Methodological Circle.

Over time, the concept of entrepreneurship has evolved. Today, we understand it not only as an activity oriented toward commercial benefit, but also as individual personal growth – the ability to work in a team, to take responsibility for oneself and for the group, to communicate, to argue one’s point, to be empathetic, and to respond flexibly to changing circumstances and situations.


School is the environment where children discover themselves, strengthen their skills and talents – it is the starting point from which an independent young person’s life begins. And we, as teachers, must help children to discover themselves, their uniqueness and strengths, while nurturing the competencies that will guide them forward.

She believes that every child is both unique and talented.
