In March-June 2021, the European Union Delegation to Ukraine is conducting an educational project “EU Study Days”. Students, post-graduate students and graduates of higher education institutions from all over Ukraine were selected through questionnaires and online testing to verify their knowledge on European issues and the history of Ukraine-EU relations. Only some of the applicants succeeded to become participants in the project. We are glad that the participants of the research problem group of our university, who work on the topic “Actual problems of tolerance and intercultural communication at the stage of European integration processes of Ukraine” (head – Assoc. Prof. T. M. Bilous), successfully passed all the tests. These students are members of Rivne regional public organization “Association of Partner Schools” (head – Prof. H. I. Nikolaichuk). Therefore, our greetings go to the students of the Philology Faculty of Rivne State University of Humanities: Iryna Vyshnevska, Nataliia Serheichuk, Iryna Volkovska, Olha Dytiuk, Tetiana Tymoschuk and Yana Samsoniuk!
“EU Study Days” project was created for young people who share European values and want to learn more about the European Union and its relations with Ukraine, as well as for those who have their own ideas and are looking for opportunities to implement them together with like-minded people. During their studies at the Euroschool, the participants will have the opportunity to meet with leading speakers: diplomats and experts on Ukraine’s integration into the European space. Training modules include lectures, discussions and live communication, which will significantly improve the knowledge concerning the EU cooperation with Ukraine. The working languages of the project are Ukrainian and English. The minimum required level of the English language proficiency is B2.
In 2021, twelve “EU Study Days” online training modules are planned. Euroschool participants will also present their own mini-projects aimed at promoting community interests, ideas regarding European integration, communication, prevention of misinformation and more. These mini-projects will be implemented jointly with the representatives of EU Networks (Euroclubs, EU information centres, experts of Team Europe Ukraine, graduates of EU Study Days, Erasmus +, College of Europe).
On March 16, during the first online meeting on the occasion of the opening of “EU Study Days”, the Ambassador of the European Union to Ukraine Matti Maasikas answered the questions of the participants and shared his personal experience.
