Through her teaching the courses in Conflict Management, Project Team Management, Intercultural Communications and leadership, Dr. Mayboroda contributes to expanding intercultural competence and innovation in international education.
“Facilitating COIL has been one of the most meaningful experiences in my teaching. Sumy State University was the first university in Ukraine to launch COIL back in 2019, and today, under the extreme conditions of war, its value is greater than ever. For students who cannot travel especially those in frontline regions like Sumy, and for those Ukrainian classmates who are widespread around different countries being displaced, COIL provides a vital union and window to the world. It connects them with international peers, fosters intercultural dialogue, and keeps them engaged in the global academic space. It builds empathy, resilience, and a sense of purpose—helping them see that they still have a voice and a future beyond borders.”
