Tomorrow!

Dear friends, Ukrainian Resources and Development Centre will implement and support a number of projects in Canada and Ukraine. For instance, three groups of MacEwan University students will travel to Ukraine for Sociology, Nursing, and Arts and Science Community Service-Learning courses this spring and summer. Stay tuned!

Dear colleagues, partners and friends of URDC!
As you may already know, I am retiring from MacEwan next month, and I am happy to introduce a good friend Larisa Hayduk, who is replacing me as a new URDC Director.
Larisa has been with MacEwan since 2007 in a variety of important roles, which kept her involved in our international and Ukrainian programming.
... Larisa has also served on the Board of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (Alberta Provincial Council), where she played a key role in developing and implementing large-scale projects aimed at enhancing multilateral collaboration with Ukraine at the government and community levels.
It has been a pleasure working with you, and I trust URDC will continue to spearhead and facilitate successful cooperation between MacEwan and our partner universities in Ukraine.
Щиро дякую вам за плідну співпрацю!
Yuri Konkin

MacEwan University School of Business, URDC and Ukrainian Foundation for College Education (UFCE) help Національний університет "Києво-Могилянська академія" NaUKMA and Український Католицький Університет UCU join European Innovation Academy.
For a number of years, MacEwan University has been taking part in the summer programs organized by the European Innovation Academy (EIA). Lat summer, over twenty MacEwan students supervised by Launa Linaker of our School of Business atte...nded the program in Italy and Portugal.
The main purpose of the program is to let students from around the world set-up creative teams and come-up with innovative social, educational and business projects to be pitched to the international investors and other organizations for further development and implementation. Although it sounds like a purely business approach, the program is open not just to business students, but also to students enrolled in different programs (for example, journalism, economics, etc) at all levels – from undergraduate to PhD.
Yulia Kleban (UCU) and Valeria Vasylchuk (NaUKMA) joined the MacEwan team in Turin for an intensive three-week program.
Yulia Kleban, who was a member of the international team from China, Italy, Switzerland, and Australia engaged in developing a platform for startup community, has this to say about her experience in Turin: “The EIA program has provided me with several benefits regarding professional and personal development. From the professional point of view, there are the following outcomes: 1) The course Social Entrepreneurship that I teach at the Faculty will receive the EIA materials. That means that the students will get access to the well-developed templates of each step in the idea validation, product-market fit process, etc. 2) The material of EIA and my updated skills at the program are good ground to build a full new course for the students at the bachelor level (Computer Science and IT and Business Analytics majors). 3) The startup idea development experience gives me the insights to become a mentor for the students at the UCU Center of entrepreneurship” Valeria Vasylchuk has enjoyed team work with MacEwan students: “Communication with MacEwan students was a real pleasure for me. I felt real kinship with Canadian students in different aspects”. Upon return to NaUKMA, Valeria has been assigned to teach a new course in Social Entrepreneurship and Finance, and she is confident that innovative materials and methodology, which she learned at EIA, would enhance this new coursework to benefit Ukrainian students.
