Feedback
I am grateful to our University for the opportunity to attend this course. The classes provided an elaborate study on integration processes. This helped me while working on my thesis, as well as in interacting with my future colleagues from different countries. The course was delivered in simple and concise language. Thank you very much for this awesome experience!)

Opening of the “Theory and Practice of European Integration” Module classroom
As one of the means to consolidate visibility of the project, maintain its impact and disseminate its results on the second year of the implementation of the Module, with the support of the University management the working group decided to open at the university a classroom (203B), dedicated to the history of European integration and functioning of the EU. Aside from the prepared material, some handouts and publications containing visual, statistical and educational information have been acquired with the assistance of the EU’s Publications Office.
The materials provided in the classroom are available not only to students of the "International Relations", "World Economy" educational programs, but also to all interested parties and students of other specialties, whose classes are held in this classroom according to the schedule.
