The Implementation of the Erasmus+ Project "Modernisation of University Education Programmes in Foreign Languages by Integrating Information Technologies / DigiFLEd" will commence at Karazin University

Starting from January 1, 2024, the School of Foreign Languages will embark on the implementation of the project "Modernisation of university education programs in foreign languages by integrating information technologies / DigiFLEd," carried out within the Erasmus+ KA2 program: Building Capacity in Higher Education.

This project aims to enhance the potential of Ukrainian universities by modernizing and digitizing 24 university educational programs in foreign language schools in Ukrainian partner universities.

In the context of contemporary geopolitical challenges facing Ukraine, the development of an accessible digital learning environment is crucial. DigiFLEd aims to ensure the continuity and stability of educational processes, thereby preserving and developing the potential of Ukrainian citizens for the future of our country.

The project's target groups include students and School of Foreign Language, as well as teachers from secondary educational institutions. Approximately 1,400 individuals are expected to benefit from the project.

On January 30 and February 1, 2024, meetings are scheduled in Tampere, Finland, to kick off the project. Subsequently, introductory visits to EU partner universities by Ukrainian teams, training courses for teachers, the development and piloting of seven courses using information and communication technologies for Ukrainian universities in collaboration with European colleagues, the establishment of a network of virtual resource centers, meetings with employers, and a concluding conference will take place.

The project has received EU funding of 718,932.00 euros.
