"Due to accumulated wastes Ukraine is one of the most anthropogenic-loaded countries in the world. Ukraine has been trying to test its own ideas and implement the experience of other countries for several decades. Environmental policy in this field and formed cluster ""city-region-country-group of countries"" have been developed and actively implemented in practice in the EU in recent years.In Ukraine there is a mismatch between progressive accumulation of waste and preventive measures, waste utilization and disposal which is caused by a lack of awareness on waste management policy. It can lead to the deepening of environmental crisis and the worsening of socio-economic situation. Thus, the problem of the study and extension of European experience in waste management under conditions of market relations in Ukraine is urgent and important.The EU experience in Environmental policy, development, financing, stimulation, promotion of environmentally related activity is extremely useful for Ukraine. The main goal of the module is to provide target groups with knowledge of the main approaches to the waste problem solving, taking into account European experience, detailed and integrated approach to the use of existing modern technologies of waste management. These questions are focused on lectures, discussions during round tables, workshops, study visits, trainings.The practical result of the project will be an active educational work with young people, new educational materials, scientific publications and textbooks. These activities will spread the information about the advantages and prospects of European approaches based on the principles of sustainable development.The project is closely associated with the work of Faculties of Engineering Machines, Structures and Technologies, Economics and Management and will be supported by the existing TNTU startup center for active youth."

The project addresses such problems in the economies and higher education systems of Belarus and Ukraine as marginalized private sector and insufficiency of today approaches in teaching engineering and entrepreneurial culture shaping.The project Goal was to develop an environment that stimulates engineering creativity, entrepreneurial activities and fosters youth employability via university-business-industry networking on FABLAB platforms. Five university fabrication laboratories with innovative equipment have been created in universities of Belarus and Ukraine for implementation of students’ engineering projects. These serve as university-enterprise “meeting points”, opening networking opportunities in both directions. Five training packages including eLearning materials have been developed in English and Russian using the competence-based approach and in accordance with the requirements of the Bologna process. These combine creative engineering and business aspects for building up hard and soft skills of students, trainees, LLL and are based on modern pedagogical approaches. Engineering curricula of respective specialties has been modernized in accordance with the training materials developed.The project created a strong impact on various levels: on the institutional level the fablabs and a data base of e-Learning materials are free to use by students and all the university staff in their daily educational process. On the local, regional and in the wider society these have been included into the fablabs activities via a sustained information campaign involving local printed and electronic media. On the national level development of the network infrastructure for youth innovation entrepreneurship support was facilitated by twinning academia/industry and academia/business through encouragement from national public bodies. At international level a contact network for exchanging good practices, experience sharing and future project implementation has been developed.
