Anton Demchuk and Erik Putzig presented the online certificate course “DEMOCRACY” for students and teachers of the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

On February 19, 2025, Anton Demchuk, Dean of the Law Faculty of Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, together with a volunteer lecturer from the United States, Dr. Emeritus Eric James Graham Putzig, visited the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. This visit was held at the invitation of the Rector of the University, Professor Yurii Boshytskyi, and was aimed at developing international cooperation and educational initiatives.

During the meeting, we had the opportunity to communicate with students and faculty of the university. Erik Putzig presented his certified course “Democracy”, which covers key aspects of democratic processes, civil rights and citizen participation in political life. This course has already gained recognition among students in various universities and specialties, and its adaptation for the audience opens up new opportunities for learning and sharing experiences.

The presentation was followed by a lively discussion, during which students and professors had the opportunity to discuss topical issues related to democracy and the challenges faced by modern democratic countries. In addition, the participants of the meeting were offered to take Eric Putzig's online course for free and receive certificates upon its successful completion.

At the end of the meeting, my colleagues and I expressed our sincere gratitude for the invitation and emphasized the importance of further cooperation between our universities in the educational and scientific fields. Such experience is valuable for the development of education in Ukraine and strengthening of international relations.
