Even as the artillery shells fall, Ukrainian higher education continues its work: Teaching and learning in times of war

Advance HE has gathered together a panel of higher education colleagues from Ukraine who have offered to share their experiences of learning from teaching and supporting students and their colleagues under extreme wartime conditions.

Demonstrating courage and resilience, staff and students have been striving to maintain learning and teaching since the invasion in February 2022. Advance HE has gathered together a panel of higher education colleagues from Ukraine who have offered to share their experiences of learning from teaching and supporting students and their colleagues under extreme wartime conditions.

Our invited academics work with students in Kharkiv and in Dnipro in eastern Ukraine, in occupied Melitopol in the south, in the capital, Kyiv and we also have a senior member of staff from the Institute of Higher Education, Ukraine, one of the organisations ensuring the continuity of the HE system.

After introducing themselves and their circumstances, they will answer questions which are being crowd sourced from the HE teaching and learning community.

This session builds on the two recent blogs published by Advance HE from Dr Anastasiia Yakovenko and Dr Olga Yashenkova who hope to be members of our panel.
