An interdisciplinary lecture for humanitarians was delivered by the Coordinator of the Erasmus+ program Jan Chapek from the University of Pardubice

Modern education provides for new approaches to the organization of the educational process, innovation in covering the content of lectures, interactivity in its presentation. Interdisciplinarity is also important, which contributes to a holistic view of facts, phenomena, and processes. Based on these provisions, humanitarians invited a guest lecturer from the University of Pardubice (Czech Republic) Jan Chapek.

 

       To the lecture that took place October 18 students and postgraduates of various humanities specialties gathered, because its topic interested many future specialists. Journalists, since it was about "Fake news", and for whom, if not for them, it is of great importance to understand the inadmissibility of falsification of materials, the ability to distinguish manipulative technologies from objective presentation of facts, the ability to navigate the maelstrom of information flows. For future specialists in international relations, examples of falsification of events and facts of Czech and European history were interesting. Future translators listened to the lecture in German and its translation and compared the choice of vocabulary, the use of syntactic constructions, and stylistic features of the translation.

     The lecture ended with questions from students and postgraduates, the range of which was very wide – from trends in the development of European politics to the lecturer's personal views on certain topics. All those present sincerely thanked the master Chapek for a meaningful and interesting lecture that prompted reflection on democracy, modern journalism, and cross-cultural communication.
