Universities without walls: Academic Life in a University Displaced by War

Universities in the regions of Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk have been forced to relocate rapidly to territories still controlled by Ukraine. For some, this was for the second time (after similar events in 2014). In this webinar, Natalia Tsybuliak of the Berdyansk State Pedagogical University will report on how these displaced Ukrainian universities have been forced to implement the without-walls concept in record time and how they continue their educational and research activities, combining synchronous and asynchronous tools to support access to laboratory and scientific equipment in other universities around the world.
Natalia Tsybuliak is an associate professor in the Department of Applied Psychology and Speech Therapy at the Faculty of Preschool, Special, and Social Education at Berdyansk State Pedagogical University, Ukraine. She specializes in researching the values of teaching and learning in higher education institutions during times of crisis, providing psychological support to participants in the educational process at higher education institutions, and studying the impact of the full-scale war in Ukraine on different groups of people. She is a member of the editorial team for the journals “Insight: Psychological Dimensions of Society” and “Scientific Bulletin of Kherson State University. Series: Psychological Sciences.”
