PARTICIPATION OF A MASTER'S STUDENT IN AN INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL IN ITALY

From July 2 to July 8, 2023, Olha PANCHENKO, a student of the 2nd year of full-time study at the "Master's" educational program "Parliamentarism and parliamentary activity" (281 specialty "Public management and administration") took part in the final stage of the NICE program – the international Summer School in Padua, Italy.

The NICE program is a network of intercultural competence to promote entrepreneurship and solve global problems of modern societies.

The participation of students in the program was ensured thanks to the cooperation of the following universities: Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Edinburgh University, Padua University, Amsterdam University, Dublin University.

The summer school program was very varied and rich: every day, students attended interesting lectures and practical classes from teachers of various partner universities, and worked in international teams to create their own project to solve one of the important problems of our time.

The participants of the program also had the opportunity to get to know the Italian culture and learn more about this wonderful country.

During the course of study, students had the opportunity to discuss and study such topics as:

- "Intercultural cooperation and communication",

- "Solving the global problems of humanity through international cooperation",

- "Skills of delivering speeches",

- "Social entrepreneurship" and many others.

We thank the Department of International Relations of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv for the opportunity for students of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Public Administration and Civil Service to expand their knowledge!

Our students have a busy summer!
