On March 23, 2026, Khmelnytskyi National University (KhNU) launches the international educational online project COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) “Breaking Borders: International Business, Trade & Wellbeing Across Cultures.”.
COIL It is a modern format of international education that enables participants to gain academic mobility experience without travelling abroad. Students and faculty members from five faculties of KhNU will participate in the project. Over four days, they will collaborate with representatives of partner institutions from the Netherlands and Belgium on актуальні topics of global development, exploring the impact of international trade, global economic processes, and cultural differences on the development of the modern world and societal wellbeing.
Students participating in the project will work in international teams of 6–7 members, attend lectures by international experts and interactive workshops, take part in online discussions, and jointly create and present short documentary video projects.
Participation in the project opens new opportunities, including gaining real experience in international cooperation, improving professional English language skills, working in intercultural teams, and enhancing personal portfolios with an internationally recognised certificate. This learning format will contribute to the development of intercultural communication, academic diplomacy, and professional competencies.
The implementation of the COIL project is an important step in expanding KhNU’s international cooperation and integrating its educational environment into the global academic context.
