In September 2026, the next stage of the traditional international project "Epistemic Justice" began, which is implemented within the framework of cooperation with the international alliance of higher education institutions ALINCO. In the current semester, the participation of the Horlivka Institute of Foreign Languages in the project is coordinated by the National Center "Virtual Resource Center "Digital Language Hub"".

This fall, the focus of intercultural dialogue is the profound philosophical and social theme “The Paths of Life.” Students explore how diverse life circumstances, sociocultural context, and contemporary challenges shape the trajectory and life choices of each person.

On October 13, an internal organizational meeting of the institute team of higher education applicants was held with the project coordinators from the National Research Institute of the Institute of International Relations

The next day, October 14, the first organizational online meeting of International Team 1 was held. It included 16 participants from eight countries: Ecuador, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Turkey, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, and El Salvador. The Horlivka Institute of Foreign Languages is represented in this team by Vira Peftits and Anastasia Fursova.

The team's academic mentors are professors from the Universidad del Azuay (Ecuador), Anne Carr and Gabriela Belén Bonilla Chumbi, as well as professors from the National Research Institute of the Institute of International Relations, Assoc. Prof. Shlapakov O. S. and Assoc. Prof. Sukhovetskaya L. V.

The joint vision of the concept of "The Paths of Life" will be presented by the participants of International Team 1 at the first general meeting of all 4 international teams, which will take place on November 4.

We sincerely thank our students for their active participation in the project and contribution to the development of international academic cooperation!
