Poznań Silent Night 2023

Poznań is a city holding education and student life as focal points for the development of the entire metropolitan area. The presence of international students in Poznań testifies to its prestige and aspirations.  Both Polish and International students involve themselves in city life, become our fellow-residents, neighbors and friends.  That's why we are delighted to offer this activity to celebrate their presence in the city of Poznań and make life more enjoyable for all this Holiday Season.

Poznań Silent Night is intended to make international students feel welcome and included in the Christmas spirit of Poznań, especially if they are hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from home. Our goal is to bring the entire academic community together, despite which universities they come from. 

We invite all international students and staff to get together at plac Wolności,  where we hope as a community to convey a message of an open, tolerant and hospitable city we live in.

During the event, we will sing on stage, creating a joint multilingual holiday choir. Well-known and popular Christmas songs will be mixed with multilingual renditions of "Silent Night". Why "Silent Night"? Because it's the most popular christmas carol in the world and translated into 300 languages and dialects!

Along with the singing, we will hear live music and acoustic back tracks.  This way, everyone will find something for them to enjoy and sing along the rhythm of their favorite Christmas music, which will bring us straight into the truly festive atmosphere. The magic of the upcoming Holidays will be enhanced by beautiful lighting of the surrounding Christmas Market.  

The evening will be completed by a "Silent Disco" during which the public will be able to listen and dance to music using headphones.
