UW students for The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity
UW students are also involved in activities supporting The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. Some faculty councils organise their campaigns and collections:
- Students’ Council of the UW Faculty of Law and Administration
The collection centre “Students of Warsaw” was founded in 2004. From the very beginning, its activity has been managed by the Students’ Council of the UW Faculty of Law and Administration. The tasks of the centre are coordinated mainly by the Culture Committee. It brings together volunteers both from the student community and from outside the university. Last year, they managed to collect over PLN 70 thousand.
During the Grand Finale of The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity in 2020, the Committee for the Promotion and Organisation of the Students’ Council of the UW Faculty of Law and Administration organised the 6th Indoor Ball Charity Tournament. Ten student teams from various faculties of the University of Warsaw took part in the tournament. The participants paid the entry fee to the box of the GOCC collection centre “Students of Warsaw”. The amount collected in the “tournament” box was PLN 1,290.71.
