On Monday, 22 June 2026, the College of Europe in Natolin will proudly celebrate the Graduation Ceremony of the 2025/2026 Academic Year, marking the successful completion of studies by the students of the Victoria Amelina Promotion.
The ceremony will begin with a performance by the Natolin Choir with the European anthem, Ode to Joy. This will be followed by a welcome address from the Rector of the College of Europe Mrs Ewa OŚNIECKA-TAMECKA.
As one of the most significant moments of the academic year, the Graduation Ceremony will recognise the achievements, dedication, and academic excellence of the graduating class. During the event, awards will be presented to the best students, as well as to the authors of outstanding Master's theses and recipients of other special prizes.
A traditional keynote address, delivered by a distinguished alumnus, Mr Simon BOJSEN-MØLLER, Head of the European Commission's Office in Nuuk, Greenland, will offer inspiration and encouragement to the graduates as they commence the next stage of their personal and professional journeys.
The ceremony will conclude with a final performance by the Natolin Choir and a farewell address by the Acting Rector of the College of Europe.
Following the ceremony, the Promotion family photo will be taken in front of the Natolin Palace. The celebrations will then continue with a farewell flying cocktail on the prairie behind the Winter Garden, providing an opportunity to share memories, celebrate achievements, and say good bye.
This special day holds deep significance not only for the graduates themselves, but also for their families, friends, faculty, and the wider Natolin community. Together, they will celebrate the accomplishments of the Victoria Amelina Promotion and wish its members every success as they begin the next chapter of their lives.
