Having so many responsibilities Giedrė Kvieskienė does not have much free time. Usually she relaxes by changing types of activities such as going on internships abroad where she meets new people, gets acquainted with new culture, and acquires new ideas and knowledge for her lectures and studies. However, active way of relaxing is also tiring. Then the director spends her free time with her family but that does not happen very often. Giedrė likes reading. Unfortunately, there is very little time for novels, because she reads a lot of scientific literature and after that she writes her own teaching material. She has already written 24 published works which are related to social issues. The main director‘s aim is that children lived, studied and worked in Lithuania. To achieve this goal, Giedrė will strive for qualitative education for youth that they could use interest-free loans to acquire accommodation and education, that people could work and earn money honestly…That‘s what our director Giedrė Kvieskienė is!
