This summer course was far from a traditional language course.
Five hours of intensive teaching Czech every weekday and a wide range of afternoon and evening activities made the course very special.

We have organised an educational and cultural program consisting of:

• visiting interesting sights and places
• discussions with well-known personalities of the Czech cultural life
• guided tours of Prague and
• trips outside Prague

and enriched by activities organised by the teachers themself. I have organised the following activities: A rock concert, theatre DISK, one day canoeing trip with lessons on the water and a lesson of the Acting with inner partner.

Students: 13 students from different european countries.
