After that, courses developed by the other nine Ukrainian universities-partners of the DESTIN project will be presented in free access for all Internet users.

Educational courses will be free of charge and will cover media criticism, media production, and media systems. There will be a division by levels of complexity, which will provide accessible information for children and adults. The participant will be able to receive a certificate on completion of the course.

The parties agreed that the Ethical Journalism Network representatives will provide supporting materials for the development of educational courses.
