On February 19, 2025, the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow held an Orientation Day for Erasmus+ students arriving for the summer semester. For the first time in the history of the program, only female students participated, representing Italy, Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary, and Austria.

The event aimed to introduce new students to academic life at the university, present educational opportunities, and familiarize the students with the cultural richness of Krakow. The meeting was led by Tomasz Kniaź (Head of the International Cooperation Office), Aleksandra Mirek-Rogowska (Incoming Mobility Coordinator), and Urszula Leszyńska (Outgoing Mobility Coordinator) from the International Cooperation Office. The new members of our academic community were also welcomed by Rev. Prof. Andrzej Kielian, Vice-Rector for Internationalization.

During the meeting, participants had the opportunity to listen to a presentation about studying at the Pontifical University of John Paul II, learn more about the available study programs, and explore ways to engage in university life. They also received information about the university's history and Krakow's cultural attractions. After a short coffee break, the students took part in a workshop led by Aleksandra Mirek-Rogowska, covering the university's internal systems and the practical aspects of studying.

As a special surprise, the participants enjoyed a guided tour of the exhibition Treasures of the Krakow Cathedral Chapter in the university library, led by Joanna Świtała, an art historian and licensed tour guide in Krakow. The exhibition allowed students to gain deeper insight into the project focused on the history and preservation of the cathedral chapter’s heritage as well as the history of Krakow itself.

The Orientation Day was a fantastic opportunity for integration and an enriching experience about the university and the city where Erasmus+ participants will be studying. This unique event will certainly help the students begin their academic journey at the Pontifical University of John Paul II.
