Personal Development (ON CAMPUS)

ESS brings together people not afraid of engaging in something completely different from what they’re used to doing back home. It’s a great way to meet and interact with young people representing different cultures and as such – a definite opportunity to spend quite possibly the best couple of weeks in your life if you’re curious, enthusiastic and open to new experiences. Also, Prague is absolutely amazing!

Business Management

I had the pleasure of undertaking the business management course in August 2021. I cannot recommend ESS enough! The activities schedule was structured perfectly, it was a great mix of it being both educational and enjoyable. All the staff are very knowledgeable and highly qualified. I really recommend this great experience to everyone. I feel grateful to have met lifelong friends from all over the world who I still keep in touch with to this day!

Illustration Practice

I really liked it. The teacher was really good at his job, he could help you no matter what you were trying to illustrate with whatever technique. For me, as someone with absolutely no art experience whatsoever, it was unclear what exactly illustration practice entailed. I had the idea beforehand that it would be more of a drawing course. Nevertheless the course was really valuable: it got me going. The most import thing I learned is probably that you shouldn’t be afraid and just do and try, it will come to you eventually. The course was really helpful. The activities were really nice.

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.
