Partnership – Prism Ukraine
On the Ukrainian side, the Foreign Policy Council „Ukrainian Prism” also has many years of experience in conducting educational and training events and sessions.
Among them, the most noteworthy is, of course, the Eastern European School of Foreign Policy Researchers. During 2016 and 2021 the school offered participants engaging lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises in the analysis of Eastern European political issues; acquaintance with representatives of public and state structures operating in the field of foreign policy. The school aimed to create a communication platform for Belarusian, Moldovan, and Ukrainian researchers, raising their awareness of international processes in the Eastern European region and providing basic skills in developing and implementing analytical documents.
Within the framework of this project, it was possible not only to successfully conduct several rounds of multidisciplinary integrated training for researchers, but also to create a separate community of analytical professionals who continued to collaborate in joint research and policy making.
