The participants also discussed the problems of forming value orientations of modern youth, as a result of which the role of European values in the educational process was outlined.

«European values will become an effective component of an effective educational process (a system of value orientations of an individual), if: the content of education is established in accordance with the European context; to enrich the content of basic educational subjects with valuable knowledge and meanings, information about European democratic achievements, values and ideals; to harmonize national and pan-European components; to form the necessary competences for living in the European community, etc.,» Ella Lamakh, head of the All-Ukrainian public organization Center «Development of Democracy», noted in her speech.

Summarizing the discussed issues, the mentors stated that the natural entry of Ukraine into the Eurospace will contribute to the formation of pro-European thinking among Ukrainian youth, the disposition to build a European state, the rethinking and reassessment of values, the rejection of false, non-Ukrainian mentality, acquired as a result of a long stay in a foreign culture.
