WEST UKRAINIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

 We live in a historic time when everything is changing - the world order and its institutional architecture, geopolitics and diplomacy, at a time when every state and every nation must decide how they will meet these challenges.

For the whole world, our country is now an example of how to defend its independence, its territorial integrity and its national interests. We accept this challenge because, as Woodrow Wilson once said, "The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty."

Today B. Havrylyshyn Education and Research Institute of International Relations held the official ceremonyto signify the completion of the First School of Mentoring, within the International Relations Mentoring School (IRM School).

The Mentoring School is a pilot project aimed at developing the leadership potential and professional skills of students majoring in International Relations, Public Communications and Regional Studies through communication and virtual team collaboration with a mentor.
Within the School of Mentoring, each student utilized their theoretical knowledge, became part of a professional mentoring team, gained unique practical experience, confidence and understanding of how to build a career, developed professional skills and soft-skills, completed and presented their individual and group projects, and more. Mentors not only shared their own professional experience, but also adapted to their unique team, inspired each of its participants, systematized their own knowledge and skills, discovered new ideas and inspiration.

We express our respect and sincere gratitude to the team of mentors:
