Personal Development (ON CAMPUS)

Really cool experience. Visited two SummerSchools this summer and this one was by far the better one. Beside some really cool courses the two weeks are filled with leisure activities, which ensure that there is no stodgy minute. You get some views of prag, that a normal tourist wouldn't get so fast. Furthermore, you will meet new people from all over the world, which will make it an unforgettable trip for you. 10/10 ??

Advertising and PR

My time at the ESS has been an amazing experience. The Advertising and PR course was both educational and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring Prague on my own and during the fun activities planned by the organization. I met a lot of really nice people and would definitely recommend ESS to everyone looking for a great time.

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!!

Amazing experience! This program was exactly what I was looking for as it offered the perfect balance between class and fun activities/excursions to ensure that we experienced all that Prague has to offer. I took the digital graphics class and cannot believe how much I learned in only two weeks. Highly recommend this opportunity to meet some amazing people, form lasting friendships, explore an enchanting city, and learn new skills!
