They study together, pray and dance together. The Academic Chaplaincy "Studnia" (Well) run by Jesuits in Toruń, city of Nicolas Copernicus, was one of the topics of the program "Closer to Heaven" broadcast by local channel of Polish national TV.

"Well" is a place where young people come to "wet their feet" learning how to be ready to walk with others who seek meaning in life and to be generous and creative in supporting them in the creation of a hope-filled future. They come to get spiritual nourishment, pursue their passions and dreams here, find a foundation for further development of their talents, including professional development. They express themselves through creative and pro-social activities. They meet because they want to do something more.

Each year the youth meeting at the Well sent their best volunteers to Africa, where the word "well" has a very specific meaning. Last year, a pandemic thwarted their plans, but they are not discouraged and are preparing an team of volunteers for the next summer vacation.

Many who graduate from the university do not leave the Well. They help others who come here to deepen their spiritual life under the guidance of young Jesuit priests: Fr. Michał Kłosiński SJ and Fr. Wojciech Werner SJ. The community of young people from Toruń is getting ready for the time after the pandemic and is open to all university students.
