Christmas Mannequin Challenge

Following the new trend in social media the students of the University of Economics in Katowice created a video – Mannequin Challenge.

The projects features Polish and international students, Vice-Rector for Education and Internationalization – Prof. Sławomir Smyczek, Ph.D. and Santa Claus himself.

Watch the video in our social media channels: YouTube, Facebook (PL & EN), Twitter, LinkedIn and Russian VKontakte.

The video has been shot during Christmas meeting for international students and their mentors: "Guarding Angels". The angels help new students in the first months of their stay in Katowice.

Christmas is the time when everything slows down - a moment of grace. We devote this time to family, reflection, getting some distance to everday's rush. All of this is connected with our Mannequin Challenge – said Sławomir Smyczek, Vice-Rector for Education and Internationalization who also wished our students all the best for Christmas.

Following the fashion for the Ice Bucket,  Harlem Shakes or Lip Dubs – now it is the time for the another video mob. The Mannequin Challenge is a viral Internet video trend where people remain frozen in action like mannequins while a moving camera films them. The hashtag #MannequinChallenge was used for popular social media platforms such as Twitter and Instagram. It is believed that the phenomenon was started by students in Jacksonville, Florida on October 12, 2016. The initial posting has inspired works by other groups, especially professional athletes and sports teams that have posted increasingly complex and elaborate videos.

Students of the University of Economics in Katowice with the support of the Marketing Communications Office have prepared a special, different video - Christmas  #MannequinChallenge and this way the University sends wishes of Merry Christmas to the world!
