In the frame of cooperation project with Ghana Baptist University College Vice-director of ARI FEM for coordination of collaboration with foreign institutions and for work with international students, assistant of the Department of Management Tetyana Mayboroda and Head of the Department of Marketing Oleksii Lyulyov held set of trainings, presentations and lectures for the new post-graduate students from Ghana.

“It was the hottest week of February we have ever felt in our lives” – this is how our lecturers will remember their stay in Ghanaian city Kumasi, at partner university college campus on 22nd – 29th of February.

That was the first such experience of communication and teaching of foreign post-graduate students with visit to Ghana. Education process and discussions were very intensive and active: management of scientific projects, methodology of scientific research, trainings in modern tools of statistic data collection and processing, bibliographic information processing, algorithm of work with international reference databases Web of Science and Scopus, and more else.

“Apart of educational process itself, for me personally it was amazing experience of intercultural communication, acquaintance with certain traditions, culture and conversations. If during first days we were like carefully looking at each other and were fully engaged into the technical processes and study-learning process, then the day before departure it was like goodbye to friends. Now I have Ghanaian name, which I was given from our new post-graduate students and they have written it on the traditional bracelet – “Adwoa” – “born on Monday”- in accordance to the Ghanaian tradition always to give second name to a new born depending on the day of birth” - such memories Tetyana shares with her colleagues at the department on her arrival back after this trip.
