As VSS 2025 enters its final countdown, we’re checking things off, tying up loose ends, and getting ready for the magic to begin in less than 10 days. And behind every great summer school… is an even greater support team.
This year, we’re thrilled to introduce our wonderful interns & assistants - a crucial part of the coordination crew, here to help you, guide you, and maybe even hang out with you after the official program ends. Trust us, they’ll have their hands full, so let’s get to know them before it all kicks off:
Andriana moved to Krakow from Ukraine and brings a sharp academic focus, social energy, and a serious love for coffee. She’s just wrapping up her bachelor’s thesis, so she knows all about deadlines (and deserves extra espresso).
Anna was born in Krakow but grew up outside the city, balancing urban buzz with a taste of countryside calm. She’s studying European Studies at the Jagiellonian University and writing her bachelor’s this year. A big fan of tennis, volleyball, and everything creative, she brings a perfect mix of energy and precision.
Yana, originally from Belarus, found her second home in Krakow, where she’s studying European Studies. She’s cheerful, musical, multilingual, and always good for conversation.
We can’t wait for you to meet them in person. They’ll be with you every step of the way during these 10 unforgettable days.
Rita comes from a small village near Lisbon, but her curiosity took her far - now she’s pursuing a double Master’s in Governance and European Studies in Kraków. She’s driven, thoughtful, and happiest by the sea (or deep in discussion).
We can’t wait for you to meet them in person; they’ll be with you every step of the way during these 10 unforgettable days.
