 for International Students

 

Dear students,

Easter is a great time for a small reset! Everything is coming back to life – and it’s a nice chance to start something new yourself. You can join us for the Earth Day and help clean up the green area around the Větrník dorms. A small step, but a visible difference for the place we live in. If you’re more in the mood to explore new places, you can join our trips around Prague and beyond. One of them is even by bike – perfect for spring.

Enjoy the days ahead!
