One of the project’s cycles, namely the training course, which includes theoretical and practical parts, the specifics of the course as well as the main learning outcomes have been described. It is emphasized that the participation of higher education institutions of Ukraine in the international projects helps to prepare a highly qualified and competitive specialist for an active professional life in the European democratic society.
