PROMETEUS

Promoting Teacher Education and Innovative Pedagogy for Strengthening Capacities of Ukrainian Higher Education for Post-War Reconstruction (PROMETEUS) is a joint initiative, within which University of Turku (Finland) supports Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in the reconstruction of higher education by means of improving university teachers’ skills and competencies using different methods for increasing resilience, innovation and inclusiveness.

The PROMETEUS Project is funded within the Team Finland Knowledge (TFK) programme of Finnish National Agency for Education, and is aimed at expanding professional development opportunities for academic and administrative staff, promoting inclusion and creating a network of innovative pedagogy. During 2024-2026, the project envisages joint training modules and courses from Ukrainian and Finnish specialists in inclusion, as well as initiatives for student and teaching mobility. Key project objectives include:

  • creation of a certified curriculum on inclusion for University staff;
  • involving students in holding a week of ideas and other events to promote inclusion;
  • expanding the information base on inclusive education at the University by translating and adapting educational materials and resources from Finnish colleagues.
