Today we have specified the essential system for our future country: this is a humanitarian exponent. You are standout personalities, and I hope that your coordinated decisions, concerned steps will touch on our country, its strength and development ”, - said Helena Savruk, Vice-Dean of kmbs and Managing Partner of the Mohyla Strategic Agency, referring to the participants of the meeting “Ukrainian humanitarian strength".</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">On December 13, the community of Strategic Architects met to discuss the specifics of Ukraine's human development. They aimed to outline the criteria that would indicate the quality of humanitarian policymaking and to work out a common concept for the Ukrainian humanitarian strength to be used for future policymaking. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">Through the prism of different spheres of activity, Volodymyr Borodyansky, Liliia Hrynevych, Serhiy Kasianchuk, Ihor Kozlovsky, Joseph Sisels, Helena Savruk and moderator Yuri Makarov shared their vision.</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">Volodymyr Borodyansky, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports of Ukraine, stressed that despite the choice made in 2015 in favour of Western values, we could find a part of the society in limbo, as researches say. We still cannot prove ourselves to be an object or subject of global politics, and we have a blurred identity and malformed value system. Many citizens are focused on their problems and do not muse on interrelations with the rest of the world. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">"If we say that our society needs for nation-wide values as humanitarian policy basics, we regret to say, that in the last decades we have not created this paradigm of values in our schools," says Liliia Hrynevych, Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine in 2016-2019. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">She thinks that the educational dimension of humanitarian policy is a crucial element in developing capabilities of future Ukrainians, as mentioned by Volodymyr Borodyansky. Hrynevych mentioned the reform "New Ukrainian School" as one of the steps to improve the quality of education. It's been implemented in elementary school and provides not only the reproduction of knowledge but also the formation of values and the ability to apply knowledge, as well as to acquire new competencies, in particular - cultural competence. The results of the worldwide PISA survey, where 15-year-old Ukrainian students took part, show that there are lots of things to do for change agents in education also in the upper school.</span></p> </body> </html>
