CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH OF STUDENTS’ VALUE ORIENTATIONS FROM POLISH AND UKRAINIAN INSTITUTIONS

The aim of the present survey was to research the value orientations of the Polish and Ukrainian students. The authors studied the value orientations of the students from two institutions, which could be regarded as a pilot project and a challenge for research with more participants from both countries. The analysis was carried out using the data collected from the interviews with the students of the chosen institutions. The conclusion and recommendations contribute to the enhancement of the academic environment of higher education institutions hosting international students as well as to the empowerment of students’ youth in their cross-cultural encounters.
