In the DAAD programme Ukraine digital, a certificate programme Online Future Teaching Skills is being implemented in cooperation with Karazin University in Kharkiv, the Kyiv Mohyla Academy and the Kyiv School of Economics under the aegis of the Center for Teaching and Learning. The programme enabled Ukrainian teachers to gain targeted further qualifications in the field of digital and hybrid teaching.

The DAAD-funded project aims to strengthen the resilience of the Ukrainian higher education system through digital technology and learning in transnational cooperation. It provides students with full-time scholarships for a high-quality education and aims to train multipliers for German-Ukrainian cooperation through an extensive accompanying programme (a Future Lab for Ukraine). In practice-oriented modules, they will not only practice transnational and trans-sectoral thinking in the sense of Challenged Based Learning, but will also familiarise themselves with design options for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
