«For 8 weeks, every Wednesday, the participants attended meetings that lasted two or more hours as the topics covered various areas of life of a successful leader of an educational institution. During this time, the participants not only studied, but also in teams discussed projects and problems, shared experience and gave advice on different issues. This is very important, because the main goal of the project is to create a community of female leaders who will change and support changes in the development of higher education institutions in Ukraine», said Nazar Podolchak, head of Tech StartUp School, Lviv Polytechnic.
Then, the participants will join mentoring sessions from Ukrainian and British experts. In the final, there will be a presentation of the projects, and three participants will have the opportunity to undergo a free internship at universities in Great Britain.
