Testimonials
Diana
Have you always wanted to study abroad, but couldn't find the time nor resources for it? Then I think ESS is the perfect solution! In this two week program, I learned so much about myself, life, and Praha. Due to the well-structured program and communication with the activity leaders, you will have the feeling that you are on a holiday with friends whilst also being educated in things you are actually interested in. It was especially nice that you could take some time for yourself if you feel like it, although there is the possibility to participate the everyday activities. This overall experience has gotten a special place in my heart and I surely would recommend everyone (no matter what age or background) to attend such a summer course. Embrace life, educate yourself, and have an open mind!
Ilaha Ibrahimli
While searching for the course to take both for educative and entertaining, encountered the European Summer School (not knowing a lot about it, took the risk and applied). Never could believe it will be such interactive activities along with 5 hours long lessons. Happy to be part of this class and be one of participants of such a diverse group. The team was well-supportive in all matters! Highly recommend to apply!
Mary Corcoran
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!

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.
