‘It was our television that the internet users trusted and appreciated our work because, thanks to their votes, we can call ourselves the best student medium in Poland,' say representatives of the Neptun TV circle.

The Neptun TV Student Television has been growing steadily; over the last year, it has produced 128 journalistic materials, which have received over one hundred thousand views. The students also organised another edition of the national conference ‘Scientific Circles ways to...’ (this time devoted to the circles' reactions to the situation in Ukraine), a charity talk-show of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, student polls, as well as music, sports (including studies prepared in a live formula), cultural, and entertainment programmes. The TV station has also placed a strong emphasis on interviews, talking to Sanah, Kwiat Jabłoni, Mariusz Szczygło, Paweł Domagała and Czesław Mozil, among others, in recent months.

The 'Pro Juvenes' Student Environment Awards competition is an initiative organised by the Students' Parliament of the Republic of Poland since 2013. The competition aims to promote active students and their initiatives, highlight the merits of student-friendly individuals and entities, and support the potential of young people. The 11th 'Pro Juvenes' Student Environment Awards Gala took place on November 25 in Warsaw, and awards were given in sixteen categories during the event. In eleven of them, the winners were chosen by internet voting.
