Since 2021, the Ukrainian Media League has been a partner of the MEDEA Awards through the activities of the Ukrainian Media Business School, promoting the development of media education in Ukraine and integrating Ukrainian projects into the international educational context. Tetiana Ilchuk, UML co-founder, continues to contribute to this cooperation by participating in the jury panel and supporting knowledge exchange and the promotion of innovative educational solutions — especially in the context of artificial intelligence and new technologies in education.

This year’s competition once again demonstrated the high quality of submissions, and the UML plays an active role in ensuring that Ukrainian projects gain international recognition and visibility.
