Krystal Centre Celebrates End of Academic Year with Student Recognition Ceremony

On Friday, June 6, students from the Krystal Centre gathered in the Blue Lecture Hall in Celetná to receive their certificates and formally conclude their studies at UJOP UK.

The head of the Prague Study Centre, Mgr. Petra Landergott Kalvínská, welcomed the students and reminded them that their academic journey had begun in this very hall back in September—and now ends in the same place. She was followed by the Director of UJOP UK, PhDr. Dana Hůlková Nývltová, Ph.D., who greeted the students and, in her address, emphasized the importance of the freedom of education. She praised the admirable effort students demonstrated throughout the year and noted that this academic year is a special one, marking the 50th anniversary of UJOP as part of Charles University.

Mrs. Kalvínská then expressed her gratitude to the teaching staff and all other employees of the centre for their dedicated work and continued support of the students. A video recap of the 2024/2025 academic year followed, highlighting shared activities and memorable moments. The celebration continued with a cultural programme, featuring poetry recitations and a musical performance by instructor Marwan Alsolaiman, who led students in singing traditional Czech folk songs, including the well-known “Já do lesa nepojedu.”

The formal awarding of certificates then took place. Special recognition was also given to class teachers and the top students in each group. In particular, three students were honoured for achieving the highest scores on the final Czech language exam across the centre.

The event concluded with speeches by the students themselves, reflecting on the past year and sharing their personal experiences and impressions.
