SPCC organized the yearly International Christmas Mixer in Hotel Radisson in Krakow. This year the students from the Swedish Filology Department from Jagiellonian University prepared Saint Lucia procession. In Scandinavian countries the Saint Lucia procession is regarded as a celebration of light. In the Julian calendar we have the longest night on December 13, later the days become longer. The tradition originated in Sweden on December 13, 1944 as a sign of ressistance against the 2. world war.
During the evening prizes from different sponsors were drawn. A known jazz band from Krakow played to the late night.
