Today, August 5, the Ukrainian-Polish program "Regional Center for European Education" was presented at the "Lutsk is European" press club, whose main goal is to increase knowledge about European cooperation among teachers and students of secondary schools, reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation. The project coordinators – Wojciech Stanek (Lublin) and Vladyslav Stemkovskyi (Lutsk) – said that knowledge about the "Euroregion 'Bug'" and Euro-cooperation is very low among both Ukrainians and Poles. Neighbors separated by a border learn about events only through the regional press, having no direct contacts with each other. The prospects of Ukraine's accession to the EU necessitate establishing close contacts, and young people are the most progressive segment of every society. That is why the project is aimed primarily at teachers and school students in the cities and villages of the neighboring regions, and will last a whole year. Within the framework of the project, an internet page (www.ebug.pl) is being opened in Polish and Ukrainian, where cooperating schools of Volyn and the Lublin region will be presented, online training and educational trainings for teachers and students will be held, a bilingual textbook "European and Euroregional Education for the 'Euroregion Bug'" and a historical-geographical atlas "Euroregion 'Bug' in Europe" will be published. The printed literature will be published in a print run of 5,000 copies with compact discs. The most difficult task of the project is a joint history textbook, since historical events in each country are taught differently. The project will involve 50 teachers and 250 students each from the Volyn region and the Lublin Voivodeship, who in their lessons will relay information on topics of the European Union and the "Euroregion 'Bug'". The partner of the project on the Ukrainian side is the Center of Public Youth Organizations of Volyn "Nasha Sprava", and on the Polish side – the "Young Democracy" Foundation, the Center for Advanced Training of Self-Government and Administration of the Lublin Voivodeship Administration, the Department of Management of the Lublin University of Technology, the Society of the Kshchonowska and Chernieyowska Lands. The organizers of the project have applied for patronage to Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi, Head of the Volyn Oblast State Administration Volodymyr Bondar, and Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Lutsk Wojciech Gałązka.
