Project goals and objectives:

This project aims to increase the capacity of Ukrainian law schools in providing students with the knowledge and competencies necessary for the legal support of the European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine.

The project will be focused on four core tasks:

• Professional development of the academic staff of the participating Ukrainian HEIs for achieving teaching excellence in teaching the core legal disciplines according to the EU/EA values-oriented approach and renewed syllabi.
• Dissemination of common European values, as well as knowledge on the foundations of the EU and NATO onto the wider civil environment by introducing a Certificate Programme for secondary school teachers.
• Equipment of public servants (representatives of the staff of the Ukrainian parliament, government, judiciary, prosecutors, and local authorities) with appropriate knowledge by the introduction of a Training Programme for public servants on the foundations of the EU and NATO.

Expected results:

• The syllabi of the core legal disciplines will be modernized and introduced in the educational process.
• A Professional Development Programme for achieving teaching excellence by the academic staff of the Law faculties of Ukrainian HEIs will be introduced.
• A Certificate Programme for secondary school teachers on the foundations of the EU and NATO will be introduced.
