Gdynia is celebrating its centenary, and Gdynia Maritime University is part of this unique history!

On Sunday 6 September, representatives of Gdynia Maritime University, the GMU Sailing and Water Sports Centre, and the GMU Academic Choir took part in a special project: a Gdynia lipdub produced to mark the city's centenary.

Gdynia residents and representatives of Gdynia institutions, organisations, sports clubs, and creative communities participated in the recording. Together, they created a unique music video showcasing the energy, diversity, and, above all, the community spirit of the city’s residents.

The Gdynia Maritime University community was strongly represented in the project. Outside the Gdynia City Museum, GMU staff gathered with their families, alongside students and doctoral candidates. Together, they took part in one of the filming scenes, showing that GMU is not only made up of staff and students, but above all of people brought together by Gdynia and the sea.

The Gdynia Maritime University Academic Choir also appeared in a distinctive setting, taking part in filming near the Musical Theatre in Gdynia. With their presence and energy, the choir complemented the artistic character of the entire initiative.

Representatives of the GMU Sailing and Water Sports Centre also made their mark on the jubilee project, joining in the shared celebrations of Gdynia's 100th birthday.

GMU's participation in the Gdynia lipdub is more than an appearance in a video. It is a symbolic demonstration that Gdynia Maritime University is an important part of the city – its history, present, and future. From the outset, Gdynia and GMU have shared a special bond: the sea, the port, education, science, and the people who create this unique community every day.

Thank you for celebrating together!

We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who represented Gdynia Maritime University during the production of the Gdynia lipdub.

Thank you to the staff who attended with their families, students, doctoral candidates, members of the Academic Choir, and representatives of the Sailing and Water Sports Centre for your commitment, energy, smiles, and readiness to take part in this special endeavour.

Thanks to you, we were able to show how diverse and vibrant the Gdynia Maritime University community is.

We are delighted to have contributed to this unique memento and celebrated the centenary of our city alongside the residents of Gdynia
