Successful Completion of The “EU Strategies Extrapolation for Boosting Students’ Media Literacy in Ukrainian Higher Education” Course

The course “EU Strategies Extrapolation for Boosting Students’ Media Literacy in Ukrainian Higher Education” has been completed successfully. Through a collaborative effort, the course aimed to enhance media literacy among SNAU students and equip them with essential skills to navigate the dynamic world of media. The comprehensive program was conducted under the guidance of a team of qualified and dedicated expert instructors:

Tetiana Klochkova, PhD in Education, Associate Professor, Department of Foreign Languages

Marina Bilotserkovets, PhD in Education, Associate Professor, Department of Foreign Languages

Tetiana Fomenko, PhD in Education, Associate Professor, Department of Foreign Languages

Yuliia Lushchyk, PhD in Education, Associate Professor, Department of Foreign Languages.

Around 70 enthusiastic participants from diverse academic backgrounds – namely, third-year students from the Law Faculty, first-year students from the Faculty of Economics and Management, and first-year students from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine – were involved in the course.

The course covered a wide range of topics, such as EU strategies for media literacy, effective communication skills, critical analysis of media content, and the development of a wise media consumer mindset. Participants engaged in thought-provoking discussions, case studies, practical exercises, and collaborative projects, fostering a holistic understanding of media literacy in today’s context. The opportunities provided by the Zoom platform and blended learning were used to deliver course materials and facilitate effective teaching and learning processes.

Today’s world demands media literacy, and the course has equipped students with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the media landscape confidently while being aware of the critical factors. We encourage students to apply these skills and knowledge in their future academic and professional activities.

We would like to thank all participants for their enthusiastic and active engagement, which greatly contributed to the dynamic discussions and overall success of the course.
