Ball in the kingdom of education: how FPSSO bachelors became knights of knowledge

On June 24, 2026, the Faculty of Preschool, Special and Social Education transformed into a true fairy‑tale kingdom. In the Grand Throne Hall of the Kingdom of Education, a festive graduation ceremony for bachelors took place.

To the sound of solemn fanfares, Her Majesty the Queen of Education opened the Grand Ball dedicated to graduates who had honorably completed their path of study and trials, earning the right to be called bachelors.

Throughout the celebration, the duchies of the Kingdom of Education appeared before the audience – special lands where future professionals are born.

The Duchy of Sunny Childhood presented those who chose the path of educators and mentors for the youngest citizens of society.

The Duchy of Harmony of Soul and Enchanted Word united future psychologists and speech therapists – true guardians of human feelings and the power of words.

The Duchy of Good Deeds, Care and Support became home to future specialists in social work and inclusive education, whose calling is to help people and make the world a better place.

One of the most touching parts of the ceremony was the turning of the pages of the Royal Chronicles and the Book of Achievements. On the screen, the brightest moments of student life came alive: first steps at the university, teaching practices, scientific conferences, volunteer projects, creative performances, victories and accomplishments. Each video fragment reminded everyone of the effort, perseverance, and self‑belief invested on the way to the long‑awaited diploma.

The festive atmosphere was enriched by performances of faculty members, who the scenario endowed with honorary roles of court ladies, keepers of manuscripts, and chroniclers of the Kingdom. And the unexpected appearance of the famous Puss in Boots brought genuine smiles to the audience and reminded once again that a true fairy tale lives where there is friendship, creativity, and love for one’s profession.

The culmination of the celebration was the long‑awaited ceremony of conferring bachelor’s degrees. Before the throne of the Queen of Education gathered graduates who, over the years of study, proved their devotion to knowledge and their profession. To the sound of fanfares, the Royal Decree was proclaimed:

“Faithful students who have passed the path of knowledge and trials now receive the right to be called worthy knights of science. Each duchy attests to their wisdom and work, and the royal court blesses them for new achievements.”

Thus ended the magnificent Ball in the Kingdom of Education – a celebration of wisdom, dreams, and fulfilled hopes, for every fairy tale has its happy ending. It became not only a holiday for graduates but also a symbol of unity of the university community, where wisdom, creativity, and kindness transform learning into true royal art.
