Design Thinking (ON CAMPUS)

Amazing time with people from all around the world. So many cultures, new friendships and experiences make this Summer School a true deal 🙂 Course was challenging and inspiring pushing me forwards and giving me knowledge I need to use on future projects. Organisation and activities were also amazing. Got to meet Prague and experience it fully in those short 2 weeks. All in all, amazing experience and would recommend anyone putting doubts if they should take it or not. Take it!!

I did not need to recognize ETCS credits, since Im already working, but I can confirm that this course was useful for my personal growth and my perception about your organization is positive. I added on certifications ESS on my Linkedin as on the Education part it could not be visible at the top of the list during preview.

From Conflict to Consensus: Negotiation Skills for Business and Politics

European Summer School helped me discover the best parts of Prague. The course was great, I learned many new things I will apply in both my studies as well my future life. The free time activities were also great with a combination of sightseeing and social events. I study at university, but European Summer School is the best school I went to so far. I will always remember my time in Prague thanks to the dedicated teachers, staff and classmates.
