On April 11-12, 2019 in Lutsk NTU the working meeting of the representatives of the project teams from the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin and Lutsk National Technical University took place in the framework of the project " Cooperation of Universities supporting the development of security and crisis management of the Lublin and Lutsk transborder regions" of the Cross-border Cooperation Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine 2014-2020, financed by the European Union.
The two-day working program of the meeting included work in three sessions.
The Rector Petro Savchuk addressed the participants with the greetings and wishes of fruitful work during the event.

The participants discussed the questionnaire among the target groups and the stages of conducting the trainings on interpersonal and social skills within the framework of the first session.
The Scientific Project coordinator Wojciech Gizicki proposed to increase the number of participants in the questionnaire from 150 to 200 people from the Ukrainian side. It would enable the inclusion of the same number of people on both sides of the border to the questionnaire. The Local manager Olena Kovalchuk suggested that a survey should be conducted in the same period according to the schedule approved by the partners to ensure that the sample is consistent with the research. In addition, during the session participants agreed on the dates and number of participants in the first round of trainings, as well as technical support of the event. The Project manager Kamil Debi?ski said that the first cycle of trainings for participants from Poland would be held on April 27-28, 2019 in Lublin. Trainings with Ukrainian participants will take place at the beginning (11-12) and at the end (May 25-26), respectively.
