Testimonials

“SMK’s engine is creativity. Creative and interesting teachers always shared interesting experiences and valuable contacts. Interesting guests were often invited, who often left an indelible impression. On the other hand, SMK’s approach to the student is very modern and does not fit into the standard framework of the educational institution. SMK is always happy to listen to students’ ideas and provide opportunities to pursue their dreams. One such opportunity – an internship in Malta – paved the way for my career in the field of video production”.

Mantas Vilimas

“SMK teachers encourage creativity and courage, and the students themselves have the freedom to choose their own path, they can improvise and experiment while creating and implementing creative projects. Every student is provided with practical knowledge and opportunities to engage in desired activities, all that is needed is not to miss these opportunities. And I really successfully used them: SMK helped me find suitable acquaintances, gain experience in various projects and on stage, and allowed me to discover my audience. While studying at this college, I constantly felt the endless support of the community.”

Keitė Arai

“While studying at SMK, I improved my communication, organizational and leadership skills. By participating in various projects and being the president of the student body, I gained a lot of experience and knowledge, which is useful to me even now. It is important to mention that all this knowledge came through experiential learning, to which teachers also contributed, involving students in various creative activities”.

Austėja Juzėnaitė

“SMK always surprised me with its original activities and events, and I had to capture all this on camera during my studies. The most memorable such experience is the Vibelift’19 youth festival. I had the opportunity to observe everything up close, to film the most beautiful moments of the event, conveying all the energy that was broadcasted during the event. I can confidently say that SMK is an endless source of experiences, opportunities, acquaintances, creativity and science. Here, the student can discover the paths that will lead him to his intended goal after his studies.”

Alanas Cibulskas

“While studying at SMK, I was the president of the student body, which contributed to my growth as a person. Leadership and the ability to work in a team have been developed through various experiences. The environment and people influenced a constant sense of curiosity that led me to where I am today. I think that SMK is always one step ahead, which encourages the students themselves to raise the bar higher every time.”

Gabrielė Kubiliūtė

“While studying at SMK, I developed leadership and public speaking skills. I realized that gathering a team of like-minded people and creating, presenting and implementing ideas together with them is my strong point. While studying, I constantly improved my skills and deepened my professional knowledge – I participated in Erasmus+ projects, which gave me invaluable experience, many international acquaintances and opportunities. I have been a mentor for 2.5 years now, which has helped me become a more open, courageous person. I became even more creative, freer, met wonderful teachers, friends, learned the best lessons of life and experienced all this right here – at SMK!”
