Upcoming Support Meeting, Dean’s Hours on Monday 12th of May 11:30-13:00

In the wake of the tragic events that shook our campus on 7 May 2025, we would like to thank you for the many expressions of solidarity and support. Returning to daily routines can feel daunting, yet familiarity often helps us process trauma. Therefore, as of Monday, 12 May, we are returning to normal teaching activities.

Upcoming Support Meeting

An open meeting for students of the Faculty of Archaeology is being organised with specialists from the University Psychological Counselling Centre (CPP). The meeting will take place on Monday, 12th May at 11:30-13:00 in room 2.10 of the Faculty of Archaeology. Although the meeting will be conducted mainly in Polish, English-speaking students are also welcome, and we will try to answer questions from this group as well.
Due to the scheduled meeting in consultation with the Dean of the Faculty of Archaeology, Prof. Bartosz Kontny, I am also announcing the Dean’s hours (hours free of didactic activities) for students of the Faculty of Archaeology at UW for the duration of the agreed meeting.

Taking Care of Ourselves

    • Mental well-being. Shock, disbelief or emotional overload are natural reactions. We encourage you to limit exposure to media coverage, especially to graphic videos circulating online, which can intensify distress.
    • Mutual respect. When discussing the attack, please refrain from blaming individuals who recorded the incident. Many witnesses filmed the scene to preserve evidence, without fully grasping the brutality unfolding before them.
    • Empathy toward staff. Lecturers and administrative employees are also deeply affected by these events. We kindly ask for understanding of their emotions and of any unusual reactions or temporary changes to class organisation.

With sincere regards,
