WELCOME DAY

On Friday, February 28, a Welcome Day was held, attended by foreign Erasmus+ students. In the summer semester of the 2024/25 academic year, we are pleased to host students from Turkey, Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Ukraine, Georgia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The ceremonial welcome was made by the Rector of JDU, prof. Janusz Kapuśniak and the Vice-Rector for Cooperation and Internationalisation, prof. Marcin Sosnowski. 

During the meeting, foreign students had the opportunity to learn about the most important administrative and organisational aspects of their stay at JDU. They received Welcome Packs, met the Faculty Coordinators of the Erasmus+ programme and learned how the Welcome Centre works. Tools to support international students were also presented, such as the "Welcome to JDU" mobile application, instructional videos and the survival kit. In the second part of the event, the campus tour took place, during which students visited the JDU faculties and other uni units.

Welcome Day, organised by the Department for International Cooperation, aims to make it easier for students to adapt to a new environment, break the first barriers and make new friends.

The meeting began a series of Welcome Days events, prepared especially for foreign Erasmus+ students by the University Coordinator of the Erasmus+ programme, Illia Kulchikovskyi, MA, Welcome Centre Specialist, Agnieszka Jeż-Jakubczak, MA, and the Erasmus Students Club Supervisor at JDU, dr Bartosz Stuła. As part of the Welcome Days, a number of attractions are planned, such as sports integration, a meeting devoted to legal and formal issues of the stay, a visit to the "Skrzat" Student Dormitory, a walking tour of Częstochowa, a guided tour of Jasna Góra, Polish Culture Days with a quiz, a picnic and many other events.
