This year’s May break for students is scheduled to last from 30 April until 4 May 2018. The break is due to two important public holidays celebrated in Poland: the Labour Day (1 May) and the Constitution Day (3 May).
This year’s May break (the so-called Majówka) for students is scheduled to last from 30 April (Monday) until 4 May (Friday). During that week, administration offices in the university will only be open on 30 April and 4 May.
The break is due to important celebrations observed in Poland:
1 May – the Labour Day (Święto Pracy) is a public holiday during which in some major cities there are occasional marches promoting workers’ rights.
2 May – the Day of the Flag (Święto Flagi) is not a public holiday, but many institutions, such as our university, are closed on that day.
3 May – the Constitution Day (Święto Konstytucji 3 Maja) is a public holiday celebrated with military parades, family picnics and concerts.
