The teachers & school students & methodology experts were addressing the question "How do the Olympic values represent an educational model?" This secondary school, one of the oldest in the city, is a living example of the role of sport in education, and of the importance of the values of excellence, respect and friendship for the educationalists and school students.

On April 29, similar seminar was held at secondary school in Prienai. Topics discussed included the subjects of culture, education, health management and well-being. The seminar focused on brainstorming the cultural and educational elements integrated into lessons of history, mathematics, natural sciences, physics, biology and foreign languages.
