The aim of introducing a new interactive interdisciplinary course in European studies is to study approaches to understanding the global leadership of the European Union and to interpret this role of the Community through the prism of three key dimensions, namely: the promotion of climate values, environmental protection, and humanitarian aid.
The goal of the transnational dimension of the project is to ensure international synergy through scientific diplomacy, the formation of mutual trust, and the European identity of Ukrainians who belong to different focus groups of the project. The transnational dimension of the project is provided through several components:
- cooperation with foreign universities in conducting scientific activities, where there is a long-standing effective partnership;
- invitation of foreign speakers-experts from the global leadership of the EU (scientists, statesmen, and representatives of NGOs), as well as the participation of foreign youth in individual project events;
- participation in the project team of well-known foreign researchers and representatives of the authorities, who indicate an interest in this topic and our European partners.
Goals of the project:
- spreading knowledge about the EU as a global leader and European integration topics in general at the level of interested focus groups (students, teachers, schoolchildren, government practitioners, public organizations, etc.);
- formation of students' comprehensive knowledge about the global responsible leadership of the EU in the field of promotion of climate values, environmental protection, and provision of humanitarian aid with the projection of the power of the Union to overcome/mitigate the consequences in Ukraine caused by the Russian aggressor on the way to its EU membership;
- development of students' practical skills through understanding the content and implementation mechanisms of important EU policies and programs in these areas, as well as the involvement of practitioners in the implementation of the project;
- improvement of teaching methods of European studies with the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders (including foreign ones), as well as through synergy with other Erasmus+ projects and wide popularization of best practices.
