On 7 December 2024, Acting Head of the Department, Professor Olena Moskalenko attended the international event ‘Summit of Progressive Educators 2024’, organised by the NGO ‘Progressive&Strong’. The event brought together more than 200 participants – Ukrainian educators – to discuss educational achievements and challenges, including the role of public and private higher education institutions, financing, human capital, overcoming educational losses, youth outflow, external and internal requests, cooperation with Erasmus+, and the unification of educational institutions. An interesting innovation in Ukraine from American partners will be the creation of World Class Scholars in Ukraine – a convenient platform that will unite and support teachers, parents and students in Ukraine and abroad.
