The meeting was moderated by Myroslava Huryk, PhD in History and Associate Professor at the Serhii Konoval Department of Political Science and Philosophy.

 As part of the TURBO project (“The Universities’ Reaction to Big Obstructions: Building resilient higher education to respond and manage societal crises”), training sessions on psychological first aid were held for internally displaced persons participating in the project. These initiatives are designed to support people who have suffered from the war and were forced to leave their homes. They help restore emotional balance, develop self-help skills, and strengthen psychological resilience in new living conditions.

 Friends, just imagine: two talented students, two brilliant eco-projects, an expert panel led by Acting Rector Viktor Ostroverkhov, project manager, Chair of the Academic Council and Head of the S.
