“Dear colleagues, I am sincerely glad to participate in such an interesting event. The challenges faced today not only by Ukraine, but also by other countries of the world, lead to the emergence of new forms of work in various industries. The coronavirus epidemic has led to the rapid development of online formats in the information, educational, artistic and cultural fields, which deserve a lot of attention from the media. As an organization whose main profile is improving the qualifications of radio, television and press workers, we know how important it is for media workers to understand new formats that are introduced in various industries. Simultaneously with the change of formats in other industries, an important issue is the change of formats and approaches of the media themselves. And of course, we will be glad to study the experience of our colleagues from the media industry of other countries in order to make Ukrainian media more professional”.

We work – teach students, develop new innovative approaches to convey our creative achievements to the audience, continue scientific research. The new form of online theater is very important for our citizens, who, unfortunately, are currently forced to stay abroad. And this new form gives them the opportunity to join art”.

“Our institute works with countries affected by military conflicts, unfortunately, Ukraine has joined this list of countries. We have a highly specialized direction, it is design, art and business related to these two directions. In England, we have three campuses and more than 7,000 students, the education we provide allows you to get not only a bachelor’s degree, but also a master’s degree and even a doctor of science. To put it simply, the training consists of two parts, the historical (theoretical) part, where we provide basic knowledge of literature and art, and the practical part, where students create an artistic product.
