Abstract

The paper is focused on the analysis of the studying program in the circular economy for bachelors at the Silesian Polytechnic of the Republic of Poland. The training first introduced in Poland in 2018, is practice-oriented and aimed at systematic training of bachelors to implement the tasks of the circular economy. The research material is the studying programme for bachelors in the circular economy at the Silesian Polytechnic. The paper presents the analysis of the structure, the studying hours, subjects, activities, and project-based method. The paper shows that bachelor’s training is practice-based using modern learning technologies, in particular the implementation of both educational projects and projects in a specific production. It is concluded that the study and analysis of studying programme in the circular economy at the bachelor level in the Republic of Poland allow us to implement Polish experience in designing training courses in higher education to provide green economy ideas in Ukraine.

Summary

Introduction

The global world is increasingly faced with problems caused by technological development, digitalization of social life, and economy at national and international levels, aggravating humanity’s survival on Earth. That is why a circular economy is acquiring such great importance globally and in the European Union as well. Businesses extract natural resources and sell their products to consumers, who throw them away when they no longer use them. Analysing the linear economic model Jonker (2019) reveals that our natural resources are reduced, and waste generated increases. A circular economy suggests what raw materials and products will remain in circulation for as long as possible, and their value will be maximized. We will extract fewer natural resources, generate less waste and reuse what we have already created
