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.

On November 3–7, 2025, a meeting of the UP University consortium of European universities was held at Artevelde University of Applied Sciences (Ghent, Belgium).
