Pedagogical Environment

The Faculty of Pedagogy at Trakia University prepares students from different ethnic groups and students who are a part of the Erasmus+ exchange program. This intercultural environment reveals the opportunities for establishing common values ​​in an intercultural learning environment through a broad intercommunication symbiosis. In an intercultural pedagogical interaction, students are given the opportunity to express their identity through the visualization of ideas, attitudes and thoughts. Art texts are used to introduce students to the traditional values ​​of the unknown ethnicity and nationality as well as solving moral dilemmas, breaking stereotypes about behavior and overcoming prejudices. By using a five-module multimedia construct, the pedagogical environment allows students, in addition to personally reflecting on a particular problem, to develop pedagogical skills to guide the process.

Regular Contact

Hedley Bull's contribution to the theory of international relations is considerable; and nowhere more acute than in the distinction which he made between the concept of a system of states and that of an international society. His definitive formulation is set out in Chapter I of The Anarchical Society. ‘Where states are in regular contact with one another, and where in addition there is interaction between them sufficient to make the behaviour of each a necessary element in the calculations of the other, then we may speak of their forming a system.’ ‘A society of states (or international society) exists when a group of states, conscious of certain common interests and common values, form a society in the sense that they conceive themselves to be bound by a common set of rules in their relations with one another, and share in the working of common institutions.’

Common Security

The Ukraine Crisis has negatively impacted the reform process ‘Helsinki+40’ of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (osce). The idea to conclude this process by holding an osce summit in 2015, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act, evaporated after Russia’s annexation of Crimea. To overcome the differences with Moscow, it is necessary to compare two radically different narratives on the evolution of the osce after 1990. As long as historical facts are mixed with myths, a common vision of European security between Russia and the West remains a distant dream. In the meantime, ‘common security’ might be more relevant for today’s osce than ‘common values’.

Pursuant to the Constitution of 1953, the Kingdom of Denmark is a unitary state. How- ever, the status of the Faroe Islands and Greenland actually defies the uniform character of this state. In its broader aspect, this situation undermines the widespread myth of Nordic unity. The official standpoint, explaining the Danish policy of aiding the Faroe Islands and Green- land, points to the long-standing tradition that links Denmark with her overseas territories and the common values that bind them. The Danish responsibility for the development of these territories is also emphasized and financial aid is treated as an expression of the solidarity pol- icy. The paper analyzes the benefits and costs related to maintaining the insular possessions of Denmark.

AbstractThis paper reports world averages of measurements of b-hadron, c-hadron, and $$\tau $$ τ -lepton properties obtained by the Heavy Flavour Averaging Group using results available through September 2018. In rare cases, significant results obtained several months later are also used. For the averaging, common input parameters used in the various analyses are adjusted (rescaled) to common values, and known correlations are taken into account. The averages include branching fractions, lifetimes, neutral meson mixing parameters, $$C\!P$$ C P  violation parameters, parameters of semileptonic decays, and Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix elements.

This paper addresses some conceptual options for Catholic education in a particular cultural context. This context is where the Catholic school system is large, stable, and well established but in the wider cultural context, the place of religion in society is detraditionalized. This detraditionalization is reflected in Catholic school enrolments where increasing numbers of students come from non-Catholic backgrounds, where, amongst Catholics, engagement with traditional structures is low or where there is no religious association at all. To initiate discussion a simple dichotomy is introduced; do Catholic schools promote religious identity or do they address a wider demographic by stressing harmonized common values and policies? To elaborate on this initial position several conceptual perspectives are offered. A key discussion point centres around the human community of Catholic schools and how they align with the various options that are proposed.

The paper considers the new concept of branding in the experience economy. Brands develop under the influence of social and economic changes in society. In the meantime, brands influence people's behavior, therefore business has given great attention to branding. Classical economics is based on the assumption of rational behavior of consumers. In fact, people often make purchases based on other, non-rational impulses. Behavioral economics explains consumer actions better because it takes into account more different factors. The mechanism of brand influence on consumer decisions is described in behavioral economics more accurately. It is of great importance for business. Understanding of consumers allows you to predict their behavior. Today people tend to receive impressions other than goods and services. Joseph Pine and James Gilmore suggest using the concept of "experience economy". This allows us to penetrate into the inner world of the consumer and understand his needs even more precisely. The composition of the consumer basket has changed; impressions and experience occupy a significant place and replace services. Under the circumstances, business and consumer communications are changing. The brand plays an increasingly important role in the new system of communications. The brand helps to identify the product, get more information about its benefits and create positive emotions and experiences. The formation of experience is a new function of the brand. To fulfil this new function it is necessary to create a special mechanism of influence on the target audience. This mechanism consists of target customers' information environment, customers' values, tools for influence and management. The study of customer values is an important part of the experience formation mechanism. Research shows that different generations have some common values. However, at the same time, each age group has its own specific values. Branding should take into account both common values and peculiarities of values of different generations. Each particular case requires a specific brand program to influence consumers to form impressions and experience.

Common Values

Today, globalization is still far from creating a picture in our minds about an integrated global society with certain common values and ethics. However, the exchange and flow of people, goods, money, information and images are emerging on a transnational level and, in this global sphere, some values of dominant-particularity with pseudo-universality have prevailed. Most of these values originated in Western societies. This paper presents a tentative outline of alternative common values in the new global sphere, with reference to Japanese religions, especially Buddhist ideas, making comparison with modern rationalism that originated in the West. In the globalization process of human society, those values and norms which have been formed at the nation-state level become relativized and lead to the fluidity and instability of cultural identities. Furthermore, it also becomes clear that such dominant values based on modern rationalism have revealed their limitations. Hence, we need to search for alternative values common to all human beings. In this line of thought, it is useful to consider the possibilities or potentialities of Buddhist ideas as common values.

International cooperation in Academia became a norm. The evolution from sporadic contacts of leading professors for academic and scientific relations to wide cooperation programmes basing on a common values and political mission and aiming to the attraction of human recourses on external markets took a moderate period of time according to the history. Why European Universities cooperate? What are the tasks for cooperation with third countries? How the vector of cooperation between universities systems between Russia and EU have been developin?
