On 17 October 2024, within the framework of Erasmus Days 2024, the National Erasmus+ Office in Ukraine held a training workshop on aspects of institutional coordination and impact, new opportunities, call results, international professional networks and other activities within the EU Erasmus+ Programme. The #ErasmusDays 2024 events were organised by the NEO with the participation and support of the co-organisers (details in the #ErasmusDays 2024 concept).
The event was attended by about 250 representatives of international cooperation departments and Erasmus+ coordinators from higher education institutions from different regions of Ukraine.
Representatives of Poltava Polytechnic joined the event, namely Coordinator of International Cooperation of the University, Candidate of Philology, Associate Professor of the Department of Germanic Philology and Translation Anna Pavelieva with the second-year students of the second (master’s) level of higher education, speciality 051 Economics Valeriia Shuliak and Valentyna Luhova.
Valentyna Luhova spoke about her experience of studying under the credit academic mobility programme at the University of Greenland – about the online part of the study (before arriving in Nuuk) and the organisation of the educational process directly in Greenland, about the subjects studied there (Higher Political Science, Economics, Economic Development of the Arctic, etc.), as well as about writing scientific papers, the methodology of teaching some subjects by two lecturers, student rights and freedoms, leisure activities of the mobility participants, and about living and life in Greenland, how they organised a food festival and introduced Ukrainian cuisine to local educators, and how they made presentations about Ukraine and the heroic struggle of Ukrainians against russian invaders. After Valentyna Luhova’s presentation, Anna Pavelieva, the university’s International Cooperation Coordinator, answered the questions of the training participants about cooperation with the University of Greenland and the organisation of mobility there.
“International academic mobility opens up unique opportunities for students and teachers to expand their horizons of knowledge, experience and intercultural interaction. Greenland, with its unique cultural environment and unique educational traditions, is a vivid example of how academic mobility can not only develop scientific potential but also strengthen international cooperation. Such initiatives facilitate the integration of Ukrainian students and professors into the global scientific community, while promoting Ukrainian culture in the international arena. We are sincerely grateful to our Greenlandic partners and especially to Per Arnfjord, Head of the Internationalisation and Communication Department!” – says Coordinator of International Cooperation of Poltava Polytechnic Anna Pavelieva.
