Abstract

The article outlines the main pedagogical aspects of youth students’ resilience involving them in participation in EU projects during martial law in Ukraine. Pedagogical methods involve relieving emotional tension and changing a student’s psychological mood. Students are taught how to regulate stress levels and recover from exhaustion while communicating, sharing feelings, ideas, playing interactive games within the framework of the EU projects (Erasmus+, IREX). A theoretical psychological and pedagogical analysis of the notions: “resilience”, “teacher resilience”, “student resilience” was carried out. The experience of developing resilience among applicants of the first (bachelor's) level of higher education in the specialties 122 Computer Science, 061 Journalism, 075 Marketing of Sumy State University was highlighted. The pedagogical aspect encompasses a communicative-cognitive approach to the formation and development of resilience among student youth. Through communication, intercultural interaction in classes within the hub laboratory “Ukr. Lang.Laboratory for foreign students”, which operates with the assistance of the EU Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module project, and webinars, higher education students recover after stressful events (according to a survey conducted – this is facilitated by EU Erasmus+ projects), learn to think critically, and analyze true information from fake (within the framework of IREX projects).
