Jean Monnet module "Digital transformation of rights: learning from the EU" (DiTraRi_EU - 101127785) is implemented at the Faculty #4 of the KhNUIA and is designed for three academic years (2023-2024, 2024-2025, 2025-2026).
Module description
General information

In modern realities, the realization of human rights and interests is carried out in the digital space. At the same time, it is in the digital space that human rights are violated and unreasonably restricted, and a significant number of cybercrimes are committed. Ukraine's aspirations for European values necessitate taking measures to ensure the realization and protection of human rights, including in the digital space. One of the main means of achieving this goal is education, dissemination of knowledge about the best practices of regulating and implementing digital rights in the EU. The analysis of the content of educational programs and training programs in the disciplines that are part of them shows that they practically do not include specialized university disciplines related to EU legal policy in the field of digital transformation and ensuring respect for human rights in the digital space. This course "DiTraRi_EU" was developed to address this problem.
