The meeting ended with a joint discussion during which participants exchanged experiences, discussed challenges in implementing PBL projects, and shared ideas for developing modern forms of academic teaching.

The course was both educational and inspiring—it provided a space to exchange experiences and deepen knowledge in the field of methods that engage students.
