NETTING - GRANT PROGRAM OF THE FACULTY OF PHILOLOGY
On November 3, the grant program "European Experience in Combating Disinformation and Propaganda: Basic Skills for the Teacher of the Future" was officially presented and is being implemented at the Faculty of Philology.
The result of the application submitted by the lecturers of the Faculty of Philology from the Winter School "European Programs for Education: Opportunities for Ukraine" was a three-year agreement on cooperation between T.H. Shevchenko National University "Chernihiv Colehium" and the European Union, namely participation in the international scientific and pedagogical project NETTING - 101127022 - GAP-101127022, which received grant support from the Erasmus+ program, Jean Monnet. The project lasts 36 months, starting from September 1, 2023.
The Vice-Rector for Scientific Work, Nataliia Nosovets, welcomed the participants of the meeting and praised the long-term grant activity of the Head of the Center for European Studies at NUCC, Maryna Keda (Associate Professor of the Lazarevsky Institute of History and Social Sciences and Humanities), who is the manager of this grant program. Ms. Keda presented the grant projects implemented over the years by university professors. The project manager Svitlana Gergul, together with experts Larysa Gorodnycha and Maryna Olkhovyk (associate professors of the Faculty of Philology), introduced the main areas of work, in particular, the content of the discipline "European Experience in Combating Disinformation and Propaganda" and the activities of the Media Investigation Workshop, which will involve students of the Faculty of Philology and other faculties, as well as students from Chernihiv and beyond.
We look forward to meaningful and creative work along with interesting reports.
PROJECT TEAM MEETING
PROJECT TEAM MEETING
On November 9, the project working group met. They discussed the calendar of meetings of the Media Investigations club until the end of 2023 and agreed on a thematic plan and locations. The project team identified long-lasting air raids as the main problem, making it difficult for the group to meet offline. They outlined the structure of a popular science publication based on the group's work, Notes of a Media Researcher. Expert Vlad Olkhovyk's proposal to announce a competition for the logo of the Media Investigations group was interesting. The work continues!
START OF THE PROJECT TRAINING COURSE
START OF THE PROJECT TRAINING COURSE
On November 10, 2023, academic classes began under the project "European Experience in Combating Disinformation and Propaganda: Basic Skills for the Teacher of the Future". To better understand the EU's information policy and Ukraine's role in this process, it is advisable to understand that the European Union is a supranational structure, how it is organized, how it functions, and how major political decisions are made. Therefore, the project's first module is dedicated to studying the history of the EU, its structures, the basics of culture and, in particular, information policy, and the challenges that Ukraine must overcome on its way to European integration.
During the first lectures, Maryna Keda, the expert, discussed the idea of European unity, fundamental European values, the creation and enlargement of the EU, the reasons for Brexit, and the Copenhagen membership criteria.
The audience discussed the problem of why young people in Ukraine do not want to participate in elections actively and how important it is to ensure democratic processes in the country.
Educational Course ІІ. European dimensions of civil society during information wars
Educational Course ІІ. European dimensions of civil society during information wars
The first day of winter was spent in the warm company of like-minded 1st-year master's students of the Faculty of Philology, starting the second module of the course "European Experience in Combating Disinformation and Propaganda: Basic Skills for the Teacher of the Future". They learned the basic concepts of the module: "infomedia literacy", "information warfare", and "media education." we studied the impact of information warfare on public opinion and analysed the legal framework for launching media education in the EU. The students were asked to reflect on why UNESCO has recognised infomedia education as a priority area for developing education in the 21st century.
In December, together with the students, we will explore European practices of combating propaganda and disinformation, analyse propaganda as a condition for the existence of totalitarian countries, and consider information hygiene as a condition for European democracy. There will be a roundtable discussion, a team game with basic terminology, and a debate, "What you know, your students can do. Disinformation and propaganda: what is the basis of personal hygiene". We will maximise practical skills in infomedia literacy.
