The training programme covered key areas of contemporary higher education, including:

- Innovative teaching methodologies and active learning;
- Internationalisation of education without physical mobility;

Participation in COIL Network Meeting 2026 represents an important step towards expanding international academic cooperation, exchanging teaching experiences and integrating modern digital technologies into the educational process.
The particular value of COIL lies in its ability to bring together educators and students from different countries through collaborative educational projects. It fosters intercultural communication, digital competence, critical thinking and teamwork skills while creating new opportunities for meaningful international learning experiences.
For the young scholars of the Department of Foreign Languages, participation in this international platform opens up new opportunities for professional development, the creation of joint educational initiatives and the strengthening of Ukrainian-German academic partnerships.
Learning together, collaborating across borders, and shaping the future of international education!
