Students from different cultural backgrounds

Who we are:

The aim of this area of the Centre's activities is to support foreign students in creating a high-quality academic and social life at the university. An important part of this support is cooperation with relevant government and social institutions in the city of Prešov, which are involved in the implementation of integration and cultural activities.

Activities we carry out:

  • organizing thematic meetings for first-year students,
  • preparing cultural and social events such as evening meetings, art exhibitions, and theater performances by the Ukrainian student theater "Pogib,"
  • using university communication channels (mainly Instagram, university magazines, and media) with the aim of better accommodating the needs of students from different cultural backgrounds,
  • implementing the Buddies programme, which is part of the peer support system for minor students. The aim of the programme is to ensure that every minor student is assigned a "Buddy" to help them adapt to the academic and student environment.
