Newsletter

 for International Students

 

Dear International Students,

This month, we bring you a newsletter full of interesting information and events. Exams are still a long way off, so we hope you can find the time and we’ll see you at one of our events. Whether you choose an event focused on education, mental health, or volunteering, we’ll leave that up to you.

If you just want to have fun and get to know your Czech or international classmates, we invite you to International Středa, Mezinárodní Wednesdays, held every week at the Hybernská Campus! And don’t forget to scroll down to the Student Acivities section, where you will find, for example, an invitation to the Student Majáles.

We wish you a wonderful spring!

Support Groups in English

 

In a support group, you’ll realize that you are not alone with your problems and difficulties. You’ll work towards finding a solution. And who knows, you might even have a laugh or two along the way!

 

Student Activities

The EGEA (European Geography Association for Students and Young Geographers) is an organization bringing together students of Geography from all across Europe. At the Faculty of Science, Charles University (at the “local level”), we organize travel lectures, geography quizzes, discussions with teachers, and other events, mostly in Czech. More information on our facebook.

However, we are always happy to communicate in English. So if you are interested in participating in our monthly meetings (every first Wednesday of the month) and discussing Geography or everything related, you are warmly invited to our student group. At the European level (where English is the main language of communication), the EGEA organizes congresses, scientific conferences, and exchanges. The entire EGEA network operates on the principle of “from students to students”, which allows us to travel abroad at a small cost. Learn more about us and let’s “Experience Geography, explore Europe!” together.

International středa, mezinárodní Wednesday

 

Informal gatherings, pub quizes, lectures, board games, and so much more! This regular event takes place every Wednesday evening at the Prague's Hybernská Campus. In Pilsen and Hradec, we'll meet again in the winter semester.
