In December, fourteen teachers of the faculties of foreign philology and journalism ZNU (Zaporizhzhia National University) received certificates of successful completion of the advanced course "Content and Language Integrated Learning for Tertiary Education". The course took place from May to December 2020 within the framework of the international Erasmus + KA2 project MultiEd "Foreign Language Teacher Training Capacity Development as a Way to Ukraine’s Multilingual Education and European Integration."

On the third of December, the National Erasmus+ Office in Ukraine hosted a webinar «Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Project Winners' Day: How to successfully implement a project» on the platform of the National Erasmus+ Office in Ukraine. The event was aimed at Jean Monnet project implementers: teams of winning projects in 2020, coordinators of current projects, Erasmus+ coordinators in the international relations departments of higher education institutions, their accountants and financial managers.

Among current priorities of the Faculty of Journalism of ZNU (Zaporizhzhia National University) is the development of international projects and activities as well as the modernization of educational programs for the training of journalists. An important component of such activities is the active participation of the Faculty's staff and students in the implementation of the Erasmus+ project (KA2: Capacity Building in Higher Education) «Journalism Education for Democracy in Ukraine: Developing Standards, Integrity and Professionalism / DESTIN».

Zaporizhzhia National University continues to implement the international educational project MultiEd “Development of foreign language teacher training potential as a way to implement multilingual education and European integration of Ukraine” under the Erasmus + KA2 program.

Video meeting "Nearness in Times of Distance" took place, during which representatives of Universities in five countries shared their professional and personal experiences on the situation of the coronavirus pandemic and quarantine. All participants of the event are long-term partners of Zaporizhzhia National University (ZNU).

Closer to the graduation, any Bachelor’s student of the Faculty of Journalism of ZNU (Zaporizhzhia National University) surely asks himself or herself: what is next, where should I study, and whether it is worth it, after all? All these issues, directly or indirectly, relate to a Master's degree. Despite the fact that the history of the Master's level education in Ukraine is more than 20 years old, not everyone still has a clear idea of its pros and cons.

Eventually the quarantine is being weakening in Zaporizhzhia National University and international projects activities are going back into active phase. Thus, the MultiEd project team, which is a national coordinator of this Erasmus+ KA2 project, gathered for a working meeting led by Vice-Rector Gennadiy Vasylchuk.

Within the international Erasmus+ КА2 CBHE Project «ForeignLanguageTeacherTrainingCapacityDevelopmentasaWaytoUkraine’sMultilingualEducationandEuropeanIntegration» (MultiEd – project number610427-EE-2019-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP) ZNU teachers will study on Moodle platform of Tartu University (Estonia)from May 19 until June 20 2020.

According to the Ukrainian State Center for International Education, over 76,000 international students from 154 countries study in Ukraine. There are almost 3000 students in Zaporizhia (more than in Kharkiv, Kyiv, and Odessa). These foreigners are from Morocco, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Ecuador, India, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and other countries. Many of them study at Zaporizhia National University.
