About me
My diverse skill set allows me to connect the dots between disciplines, creating innovative and holistic solutions that inspire meaningful growth.
I am a certified education designer, facilitator, and producer with a strong focus on creating innovative learning environments. Combining my expertise in education, and creativity, I develop programs that inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and holistic growth. My approach integrates traditional approaches with modern, forward-thinking strategies, ensuring that my work fosters inclusion and intentionality.
My method is to blend the individual needs with the group needs. How to navigate the complexity of our relationships with each other and embrace the individual talents and come together as a team.
In addition to my role as an educator, I am also an accomplished event and community builder, as well as an experienced photographer. My multidisciplinary background enables me to craft impactful experiences that resonate across diverse audiences, leaving a lasting impression through both my educational initiatives and creative endeavours.

Saulius Buivys, Leading Lecturer Master Consultancy and Entrepreneurship at Rotterdam Business School
For over 10 years I have been working with Evelina on wide range of projects and I was extremely happy then she agreed to deliver a workshop on gender to our team at Rotterdam Business School. She is engaging and mindful speaker/trainer who is capable to trigger and to lead open discussion on complex topics.

Evelina Kvartūnaitė is a great storyteller, writer, essays, subtle thinker. Her textual and visual thinking is tremendously transparent, so intrigues from the first line to the last which one can read seemingly in a moment. Evelina writes to radikaliai.lt for almost three years and is one of the most loved authors of ours.

Anthony Mayers, Educator, Comedian, Storyteller
Along with being an educator, artist, writer, and photographer, Evelina is the founder and Artistic Director of Word Up Amsterdam.
It's hard to say whether she's more artist or an educator because she puts so much passion, time, effort, desire, and development into everything she does. In addition to teaching and directing, Evelina is a strident voice for refugees and womens' rights. Her blog "One Question" explores womens' issues, sometimes from a Lithuanian female perspective. It would be understandable to think that Evelina stands out and "shines her light" in the pursuit of such noble ventures.
However, the opposite is true. She pushes other artists in front while being fine with staying in back, doing whatever she can to promote various artists, art forms and the issues that can make all of our lives better. It's easy to write of her artistic ventures, but as a fellow educator is where Evy truly stands out and shines to me. She has taught a broad array of classes and ages that would deeply challenge any professional teacher. I taught for 40 years and thought I had seen almost everything.
If Evelina was arrogant about her work, I would not be writing this. However, she's also one of the most humble and kind individuals I've ever had the opportunity to work with. -
Marjolein Hemker, Learning & Development Lead, Leadership Development, Agile HR
Evelina has been my right hand when designing, rolling out and facilitating the unconscious bias workshops for all employees globally at TomTom. Together with our team of facilitators, we have delivered almost 60 unconscious bias workshops, to an estimated 800 employees. The workshop has been rated with an average of 8.2 out of 10. The high rating is supported by very positive feedback we received on them.
To share just a few of the almost 100 positive comments we received:
“The information was on-topic and relevant. The different types of biases were well summarized, understandable, and accessible. I liked the meeting format. I feel like I got a lot out of this workshop - it was very good.”
“Well organized, good time management, thought provoking, working in groups.”
“This topic is very interesting and very important. I am happy that we've had opportunity to take part in this workshop.”
“The format worked well for me...I have already caught myself in how I respond to things and realize how the conformity bias is a strong one for me... I appreciate the ‘be aware, listen, and think before you speak reminders.’ Overall excellent and would love more!”
Evelina has hugely contributed to this success. Evelina has been incredibly dedicated, knowledgeable, creative, super fast in her delivery and always there when needed. I hope to be working with her in the future again.
