The future of higher education today:

the new podcast bringing people together

to talk about the biggest issues facing universities.

Life has changed, of course,

the life of our university and the life of each Ukrainian,

because we had to face the biggest challenge

in our life: the war.

When I was younger, I never thought

I would go to university,

because I just thought: ‘I'm not smart enough’.

I think the easiest thing

for universities to do is just acknowledge it as a problem.

Just say, like, ‘students are taking drugs

and we want to talk about it.’

I think that's why it's so sad sometimes

that it’s almost seen that equality and diversity

is in opposition to freedom of speech, because unless

everybody feels able to participate,

we don’t really have free speech.
