Report from the 17th Non-Public Universities Forum

The 17th Forum of Non-Public Universities, organized by the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology and SWPS University, was a multidimensional event focusing on important aspects of student government operations.

Over these two days, student government members from all over the country participated in numerous training sessions aimed at acquiring new knowledge and networking.

The first day featured a debate on funding student activities, led by DSc Stanisław Mocek, Professor at Collegium Civitas – Chairman of the Conference of Non-Public Academic Schools in Poland, Prof. DSc Roman Cieślak – Rector of SWPS University, and Julia Bednarska-Leśniak – Vice-Chairman of the Parliament of Students of the Republic of Poland.

That day also included training on the craft of public speaking, a lecture combined with a discussion on stress where students could share their experiences, a presentation on AI (Paweł Kowalski), and either leadership training (Rita Żuchowska) or team building (Maciej Korab) depending on preferences.

The second day hosted the assembly of delegates for the Forum of Non-Public Universities, where representatives of various universities had the opportunity to discuss and make decisions on key educational and academic issues.

Parallel workshops on artificial intelligence, led by the PJAIT Data Science Club and Michał Wieczorek, provided a valuable addition for participants interested in the latest technological trends.
