Music Society PJAIT concert

A unique element of the event was the performance of the Music Society PJAIT circle, which presented a number of covers of well-known artists such as Maanam, Mata, Elton John, Dawid Podsiadło, Bruno Mars, Taco Hemingway and LemOn. Live music perfectly complemented the atmosphere of the event, adding to its unique character.

The performance was enthusiastically received, resulting in invitations for the ensemble to events organized by other universities. What's more, PJAIT 's inspiring Music Society performance motivated students at Warsaw University to form their own music club.

Networking and experience sharing

The official part of the conference was followed by refreshments combined with a networking session, during which participants had the opportunity to make valuable contacts and exchange experiences. This part of the event resulted in many productive conversations that may translate into future inter-university collaborations and new student initiatives.

A future full of possibilities

The Student Council of the Future Conference was not only a presentation of past achievements, but also a preview of ambitious plans for the future. The projects presented, such as the Innovation Center, the Day of Creativity, new internship opportunities, the intercollegiate project "Campus" and the joint Warsaw Juvenalia, show field of study in which Student Council PJAIT is heading.

It can certainly be said that the Future Self-Government Conference and the accompanying Music Society PJAIT concert represent a milestone in the history of student activity at PJAIT.
