On February 27, at the invitation of the online IT academy GoIteens, Anna Drobyna, Head of International Office, performed as a speaker at the event “Stand-Up with an Expert.”

During the meeting with prospective high school graduates, participants discussed current labor market trends and the key requirements employers have for higher education graduates. The attendees had the opportunity to learn which competencies are most in demand today, how to prepare for a successful career start, and how to choose “the one” university.

As part of her presentation, Ms. Drobyna also introduced KROK University, speaking about its academic programs, admission process, and international opportunities available to students. Special attention was given to the KROKUniFit program, which allows high school students to try themselves in the role of university students even before enrollment.

In addition, participants were invited to join the new cohort of the ArtNoConflict / “Art of Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (Mediation)” project within the Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange program, which is scheduled to start in March 2026.

Educational and Scientific Institute of International Education and Department of International Business express their sincere gratitude to GoIteens methodologist Ms. Kateryna Dikhnych for the invitation and the opportunity to hold a meaningful meeting with prospective students.

We have officially completed the program for the second cohort of participants within “ArtNoConflict” project - and it was truly an inspiring experience that brought together participants from different parts of the world!

From October 16 to November 19, 2025, participants attended training sessions and explored such important topics as conflict resolution, emotional management, active listening tools, argumentation, and more. They engaged in practical exercises and discussed real-life cases in small groups with the support of facilitators.

All participants who successfully met the program requirements received certificates confirming the completion of the course within “ArtNoConflict” project.

We sincerely thank all participants for their openness, dedication, and active engagement. Our gratitude also goes to the trainers, facilitators, and the entire project team for their productive and professional work.

Until our next ArtNoConflict journey!

The program is implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ Virtual Mobility project “The Art of Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (Mediation) / ArtNoConflict.”
