A great summer experience where I had the chance to meet people from all over the world. It was also awesome to see Prague and the different views and attractions of the city. I learnt things about communication in business from the course and developed my communication skills. This experience made my summer different!

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.

I wrote very interesting article about my European Summer School experience here.
