She also stressed that it is thanks to such initiatives that the university is confidently integrating into a single European educational space, affirming the values of democracy, human dignity, and academic freedom as an integral part of its development.

Project coordinator, Associate Professor Yaroslav Galan, emphasized the importance of the knowledge and practices acquired by the participants, which will contribute to the further implementation of European standards in professional activities. He noted that the school has become an effective mechanism for spreading European values among young people.
