Students also attended the event from two Kolomyia lyceums – No. 2 and No. 9.
Within the framework of this educational project, using game methods, the participants learned about the features of a closed-loop economy, about digital and entrepreneurial skills that are necessary for both personal and “business life”, about the basics of financial literacy and had the opportunity to develop their own business projects. Based on the results of the training, the participants received international certificates of completion of the training within the Girls Go Circular course.
At the end of the event, Halyna Voloshchuk, Director of the Educational and Scientific Center for Professional Career and Education of the Vasyl Stefanyk Precarpathian National University, spoke about the structure of the higher education institution, specialties, and admission requirements for 2025, and Liliya Mykhailyshyn, Head of the Department of International Economic Relations, emphasized the advantages of studying in the educational programs “International Economic Relations” and “International Business Management”. What is especially pleasing is that those present were interested in studying at the University.
