According to the professional development plan, Iryna Melnyk, Head of the Geography Department, underwent an internship under the Erasmus + (Teaching) program in Poland.

The host party was the Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce (Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach), in particular a structural subdivision of the University – Institute of Geography and Environmental Sciences (Institut Geografii i Nauk o Środowisku).

The internship program was rich and provided acquaintance with the structure of the University, features of the organization of the educational process, educational programs, innovations in the educational process, the material and technical base of the university. The lecturer gave four lectures to Polish students majoring in Geography and Tourism, as well as several useful meetings with colleagues from the Jan Kochanowski University. Participants of the mobility program saw how practical classes take place at the Polish university, talked to Polish students.

The week spent in Poland allowed not only to learn about the educational activities of the university, to see its features and benefits, but also to expand its understanding of its geography and culture.
