Among one of the most interesting cross-cultural projects is the study of social and psychological factors determining the psychological well-being of youngsters living in different European countries. The project connected with dance therapy and art therapy is carried in cooperation with the research laboratory of The University of Parma.

The cooperation with Italian institutions of higher education gave an opportunity to start a new project in clown-therapy in 2009, which helps to cure children with chronic diseases at hospitals.

The main step in developing international university cooperation is the project “Teaching and Learning Psychology in Higher Education”. In the framework of the project our faculty and the faculty of psychology of the University of Florence regularly exchange teachers, researchers and students. Our universities together also carry out international conferences on the problems of psychology and education.
