The University of Donja Gorica has successfully implemented the project “Awakening the Vision 2025 – From Wonder to Miracle”, which gathered more than 1,000 students from all study programs. This introductory event was designed to connect new generations from day one with the values, energy, and culture that define the University.

During the six-day program, freshmen had the opportunity to attend a series of lectures and hear inspiring stories and ideas from the fields of economics, entrepreneurship, art, literature, modern technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, synthetic biology, mathematics, Chinese studies, and many other disciplines. These lectures were not only theoretical but also conveyed strong life messages, motivating students to develop critical thinking, a spirit of inquiry, and personal initiative.

The program also included a variety of extracurricular activities aimed at fostering social interaction and team spirit. In the sports and recreational segment, students could participate in teqball, chess, table tennis, e-sports competitions, and self-defense workshops, as well as many other activities. Special emphasis was placed on creative and laboratory workshops, ranging from 3D technologies and urban gardens to film and art sessions, “escape room” challenges, and discussions with alumni.

Considering the large number of international students, activities were also organized in English, Turkish, and Russian, designed both for domestic and international participants, with particular attention given to their integration into UDG’s academic and social community.

The key message delivered to freshmen was that studies should not be understood merely as a race for grades and averages, but as a process of exploration, questioning, exchanging ideas, and learning through mistakes. A diploma, they were told, should reflect not only knowledge but also courage, perseverance, and the experiences gained throughout their academic journey.
