Testimonials
Ajita
Working on a project with students from other countries was a great learning experience in terms of understanding the differences and similarities between the cultures and perspectives that are observed in different parts of the world. I wrote very interesting article about my European Summer School experience here.
Yasmeen
I was enrolled in the personal and professional development course - it consists of many practical elements which helps you bond with your fellow classmates and apply the knowledge you have gained. I particularly enjoyed the focus on public speaking. The accommodation suited our needs and the activity coordinators gave us the experience of a lifetime in Prague (thank you team ESS!). If you are looking for a light, fun and enriching summer course - this is the place for you!
Jim Pallas
ESS 2019 was a great experience. Not only do you get to meet a of people from a lot of different places but you also come in touch with the exciting Czech culture. The courses provided are very interesting and the organisers are always helpful and welcoming.

I enjoyed time in Prague very much, the city is splendid, people were awesome. Even though I am not a party guy, the program offered me a lot of sightseeing, city tours, I visited museums, parks and everything possible. Two weeks is ideal time for getting to know new people, making new friendships, to learn something and enjoy city. I would recommend joining ESS for everyone.
