Education without borders has been implemented in the framework of the project INTERADIS. The project “Education without borders” was launched for international students and refugees. During four month 250 students attended 480 hours of interdisciplinary courses. The project has four main directions:

1. Interactive creative activities for children

Incredibly interesting and educational classes were held for Ukrainian and foreign children who have been forced to leave their homes because of the war. More than 25 children from Ukraine, Mexico, Portugal, Italyand Spain joined interactive online classes three times a week, where they could find out more about our city Rivne and the Rivne region, they also made mini applications and origami, went to the virtual zoo, played on the virtual playground, and even watched movies. English language classes were held for our youngest students as well. There we focused on reading, understanding and speaking.

2. Online language courses (Ukrainian, English, German, French, Turkish)

More than 300 hours of practical classes of Ukrainian and foreign languages (English, French, German and Turkish) were held for international students and refugees. The courses not only enhance linguistic proficiency but also instil global citizenship, cross-cultural competence, and ethical considerations. The emphasis on cultural dissemination ensures that students gain insights into diverse cultures, promoting mutual respect and understanding within the learning community.

3. Financial Literacy course

Today, when there is almost no cash payments in the modern world, digital financial products and services are becoming more and more widespread throughout society. And we think that to deal with credit cards, mortgages, consumer loans, and even health insurance and self-directed investment accounts was extremely helpful .
This project was very useful not only for refugees and international students, but also for us, as the members of university society. During informational crisis all over the world it helped us to concentrated on the education process, on the communication with other people, on the ways of broadcasting our knowledge to others and through it help them to adapt and integrate in new conditions and even in new society.

4. Preparation to external independent testing

Practical classes of preparation for entrance examinations in English. During trainings and workshops our future students had an opportunity to prepare for the English language entrance. Interactive classes included all aspects of language learning. English Grammar in Use textbook by the Cambridge publishing house  was used for effective preparation to the testing.
