Saint Nicholas worked up quite a sweat during his recent visit to UJOP's Voršilská, Krystal and Poděbrady centres which he managed in only two days. He made his rounds on 5 and 6 December, accompanied by a kind angel and a mischievous devil - who tried to scare the naughty students with his ominous bag. But much to his disappointment - and our relief - there were no naughty students at UJOP! Instead, St Nicholas was faced with a delightful surprise: the students were ready with Christmas rhymes and poems.

On Monday, December 3, an Advent event took place at the castle in the Poděbrady centre to mark the beginning of the Christmas season. Teachers prepared a small advent gathering for the students of the preparatory courses to immerse them in the Christmas spirit and introduce them to Czech Christmas traditions. Together they all enjoyed listening to carols while decorating freshly baked gingerbread cookies, which were later used to decorate the Christmas tree. Throughout the activity, a few pieces of gingerbread were discreetly 'tasted' as our meticulous students made sure that only the most delicious cookies made it to the tree.

ÚJOP puts great emphasis on the portfolios also because admissions to schools in the Czech Republic take place already in November, so there is not much time for preparation left. ÚJOP recommends that its students arrive in the Czech Republic with a portfolio they have already worked on in their home country. If they do not have one, this course is the way ÚJOP offers them support. Those who already have a portfolio will receive professional help and advice on how to improve and compose the portfolio to make it as attractive as possible for the school.
