A higher education seeker of the faculty of Law, Management and Economic Security of the Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs, Sofia Khaletska, visited Lublin (Poland) as part of the Study Tours to Poland (STP) 2025 program with the assistance of the Fundacją Kultury Duchowej Pogranicza.
The project participants learned about the history, cultural heritage of Lublin, and the academic environment of Poland; visited student associations; and studied the mechanisms of local government functioning.
At the meeting with government representatives, they discussed issues related to the active participation of citizens in public life. Particular attention was paid to the activities of Polish non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
A separate block of the program was dedicated to an overview of the economic development of the region, including visits to special economic zones and organizations supporting entrepreneurship and innovation. In the course of excursions, the young people learned about regional dynamics in the context of Poland’s membership in the European Union, as well as social aspects such as protection of children’s rights and inclusion.
Sofia Khaletska noted that the knowledge and skills she gained will contribute to her professional growth and will have a positive impact on the academic community of the DonSUIA.
