Dean of the Law Faculty Anton Demchuk visited Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

The meeting at the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine was aimed at developing cooperation between our universities. It was not just a formal event, but an opportunity to exchange ideas and knowledge and find new ways to work together.

During the meeting, we discussed many important topics: from scientific research to the organization of the educational process and career guidance for students. We were pleased to hear that our views on the development of legal education are so similar. We talked about how important it is not only to provide students with theoretical knowledge, but also to teach them to think critically, understand the essence of democracy and be active citizens.

A special part of the meeting was the presentation of the course “Democracy” developed by Eric Putzig, Honorary Doctor of Lesya Ukrainka National University. We created this course to help students understand that democracy is not just a word from textbooks, but a thousand-year-long struggle for freedom and justice. I was pleased to see the interest in the eyes of students and teachers. This course can become a real bridge between theory and practice for future lawyers.

After the official part, the rector gave a tour of the university.

We discussed how our universities can join forces to implement joint educational projects, and this is just the beginning of a long and fruitful cooperation.

It was a warm, friendly dialog with the Rector of the Kyiv University of Law of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Professor Yurii Boshytskyi, filled with mutual respect and a desire to move forward. I am grateful for this opportunity and I am sure that our universities will do a lot of good together!
