We are a group of volunteers assisting at the registrations of incoming students at some of the faculties. We also organize Welcome Weeks at the beginning of every semester and regular social and cultural activities, as well as trips during the whole year. In general, we help international students with their first steps in Prague.

Buddy Programme

An opportunity for foreign students to get a “buddy” (a Czech student) when they register in this programme. To create your profile simply fill in the name of your faculty and some information about yourself. Your buddy will pick you up at the airport and help you during your first days in Prague. He/she will be your first Czech friend.

Welcome Week

The Welcome Week takes places a week before the courses start. During the Welcome Week, new students have a chance to meet other students and to discover the university and Prague through various activities. Make sure you arrive on time so you can participate.

Tandem Teaching Programme

Students who want to learn or practice Czech or any other language (levels ranging form from beginners to advanced; grammar, tutoring or conversation) can participate in the Tandem Teaching Programme. You can practice new languages while teaching your native tongue in return!

Causes of ESN

ESN addresses its six key causes: culture, education and youth, environmental sustainability, health & well-being, skills and employability, and social inclusion. Through these causes, we offer opportunities for international students to get closer to the local community where they can engage as volunteers. The international students can present their countries for children in schools or kindergartens, teach their native language at a high school or donate clothes that they don't need to a homeless shelter. There are many ways to help others in need, so why not help together?

Erasmus in Schools

Erasmus in Schools is a project lead by Erasmus Student Network (ESN) europewide and it creates moments of encounter and exchange between international students and pupils of local elementary / high schools. Thanks to the Erasmus in Schools, local schools have the opportunity to host students on exchange from everywhere in the world, sharing information, experiences, and folklore about their home countries and the world of mobility programs! Currently, Erasmus in Schools is also available as an elective course at the Faculty of Education!

Social activities

Would you like to test your knowledge, present your country and learn how to greet each other in many languages, have a good time with other students and simply socialize? With ESN you will not get bored. Join us for Pub Quiz, Country Presentations or many more fun events!

Trips

The Czech Republic is a beautiful country with many interesting and historical places and monuments not only in Prague but also outside. Join us for trips to places all around the country and explore the best of it. We will show you some highlights of other countries as well! During each semester there are various trips such as: Brno, Kutná Hora, Plzeň, Karlovy Vary, Karlštejn and many more. We are always coming up with new places to take you to!
