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 also aims to modernize syllabi of core legal disciplines, as well as disseminate common European values and knowledge on the foundations of the EU and NATO onto the wider civil and political environment.
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.
