About the project
The status of a candidate for membership in the European Union poses qualitatively new challenges for Ukraine, especially in the context of full-scale military aggression. The harmonious integration of Ukrainian society into a friendly European family is fundamental, which is possible only through quality education, and thus the education of a new generation of teachers who will not only adopt the European civil society values but will also have the motivation and tools to implement them in the future Ukrainian education system. The proposed project can significantly complement the existing EU research of T.H.Shevchenko National University "Chernihiv Colehium", which focuses on the training and education of a new generation of teachers in various fields, and help to continue and systematically deepen not only the focus on European studies but also the fundamental values of the European civil society, such as infomedia and digital media literacy.
The project provides studying the best European practices in combating disinformation and propaganda, experience in creating a regulatory framework (such as legislation on hate speech) and tools for fighting today's information wars; introducing this experience into the process of future teachers' training in Ukraine in various fields (e.g., philologists, historians, mathematicians, computer scientists, social educators, school psychologists, labour and physical education teachers) by updating educational and professional programs, conducting workshops to develop skills in combating disinformation and propaganda, and creating a teaching manual.
It is essential for future teachers who will rebuild the country in the postwar period to develop skills in decoding enemy propaganda, mind manipulation, active attitude to the perception of any information, and awareness of the European practices in combating disinformation and propaganda.
The project will promote the European Union studies (information and media literacy) at NUCHK and expand the mental borders of Europe through the audience's awareness that Ukraine is a part of the European cultural community, which will facilitate Ukraine's integration into the European community.
