Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and ICEA International Revolutionize Education Worldwide Amid Ukraine’s Ongoing Conflict
In the world of education, countless passionate educators, often holding advanced degrees, dedicate themselves to providing top-tier instruction to their students. However, this unwavering dedication can sometimes lead to a sense of isolation among teaching professionals. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has disrupted traditional teaching methods and necessitated innovative approaches to program delivery for Ukrainian students. In response to this need for change, ICEA International has initiated a groundbreaking collaboration with Ukrainian partner institutions, resulting in the launch of an enlightening online webinar series.
ICEA International is proud to announce a strong and supportive partnership with Thompson Rivers University (TRU), recognized as a global leader in higher education. TRU distinguishes itself by offering a substantial number of online degree programs, solidifying its status as a prominent institution on the international academic stage. As part of this collaborative spirit in the field of education, TRU generously shared its extensive knowledge and experience with Ukrainian colleagues, reinforcing their shared commitment to participation in Education Integration and Innovation projects.
Collaboration among educators is instrumental in facilitating an exchange of insights, the development of cohesive educational plans, and effective cooperation. The response from participants in our webinars reflects the significant impact of these educational initiatives. An impressive 76% of participants have expressed their dedication to implementing the newly acquired knowledge and skills, while an even more remarkable 82% have reported the development of higher-order thinking capabilities.
This endeavor not only enriches TRU’s array of international education offerings but also positions the institution at the forefront of creating online opportunities for professional development. As both ICEA and TRU continue to expand their horizons, their commitment to fostering international collaboration and advancing global education remains unwavering.
The impact of this collaboration extends far beyond Ukraine’s borders. In January 2024, ICEA and TRU open a series of webinars available to educators from different countries, providing a platform for global educators to engage with these innovative resources.

Teachers' internships - May 2023
This year, ICEA, together with experts from leading Canadian universities such as Thompson Rivers University and Kwantlen Polytechnic, developed and implemented an online internship for Ukrainian educators for the first time. It was a very productive and busy month. Ukrainian teachers are already putting the knowledge gained into practice at their universities.
You can see how it happened in the video and gallery of the event.

How it was
In 2018, Go2Goal Inc. implemented the first academic teacher internship program in Toronto. We organized a 2-week academic internship in Canada for Ukrainian teachers with visits to leading universities, colleges, and language schools. Participants studied new teaching methods and exchanged professional experience with representatives of Seneca College, Sheridan College, York University, and other educational institutions. The program also included an exciting excursion program and workshops on such topics as learning management, motivational tools, critical thinking, and scholarships for international students. The program participants improved their skills in educational management, lesson planning, and encouraging students to grow academically. We received a lot of positive feedback and decided to launch another edition of the program. We believe that programs like this will undoubtedly play an important role in shaping the next generation of educators in Ukraine.
