Advanced training course
European Union: Integration Experience
Understanding of international relations is impossible without taking into account the influence of integration processes which have become a key feature of modern development. In November 2020, within the framework of the advanced training course, the lecturers of the Chair of History and Theory of International Relations gave classes on the development experience of the European integration project, the European Union. Participants learnt about the evolution of the “European idea”, the prerequisites, reasons and the progress of creating the integration association, institutional features and a unique decision-making mechanism, the correlation of national and supranational powers, and problems of the European integration. Besides, the study of the European integration process was presented in the context of the European and world history that helps to determine the content of international relations and their evolution to the modern stage.
The knowledge gained during the advanced training course helps to understand the role and place of the legislative, executive, and judicial authorities of the integration association, EU diplomacy and experience in reaching compromise solutions, principles and values of the European Union, EU-Russia relations. Knowledge on the development of the European project is also useful in the context of studying the Russian policy of integration interaction within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union.
The advanced training course was designed for education officers, teachers of humanities at secondary and higher educational institutions, representatives of public authorities, public figures and everyone interested in studying international relations. In the framework of preparing for the course, the Chair`s staff members met with employees of municipal and regional authorities, teachers and pupils of schools in Omsk and the Omsk region, as well as disseminated promotional materials.
The advanced training course was free of charge. Following the results of training, course participants received a diploma of advanced training of Dostoevsky Omsk State University.
The duration of the course is 36 hours.
The advanced training took place alongside with the work of Jean Monnet School of Young Diplomat.
We would like to thank all participants for their interest to the event!
