About the project

The 2025 follow-up project builds on the collaboration launched in 2022–2024 and is designed to further strengthen and expand the Ukrainian-German Digital Teaching Network (DTN) with DAAD support. The Network has grown to include up to 19 partners – both academic and non-academic organisations – fostering an interdisciplinary and inter-organisational environment for knowledge exchange.

In the long term, the project aims to shape an academic environment where learners and educators can access resources and opportunities aligned with their academic goals and professional growth, transcending the traditional boundaries of study programmes and professional fields.

Key activities

• – Enhancing the e-course offerings on the DTN Moodle platform by engaging Ukrainian HEI lecturers in the development of new e-courses and the revision of existing ones;
• – Expanding the integration of digital tools into educational content, especially through the design and development of virtual reality (VR) tours, with active participation of lecturers and students from partner universities;
• – Fostering the exchange of knowledge and expertise in digital didactic concepts and effective use of digital tools for online teaching and learning;
• – Encouraging sustainable, long-term collaboration among partner universities at various levels, emphasising shared goals and mutual benefits.
