NearEU Module continues its Master Class series with partnering expert – Dr. Andriy Tyushka
On May 7th, the NearEU Jean Monnet Module hosted its second Master Class, entitled “The EU, Ukraine and (geo)politics of EU association”, which was delivered by the partnering expert – Dr. Andriy Tyushka from the College of Europe (Natolin). The Master Class evaluated the broader implications and challenges related to European integration and relations with the Eastern partnership countries, particularly focusing on Ukraine. The master Class highlighted the impact of competing projects of regional integration on Ukraine’s geopolitical perspective and internal political developments. It has also discussed the EU’s engagement with a broader Eastern European region and the perspectives for further development of Eastern Partnership.
The Master Class attracted a very high level of interest, bringing together to the session more than 75 participants from both partner institutions of the module and all around the world.
