Testimonials
Jakub
I enjoyed time in Prague very much, the city is splendid, people were awesome. Even though I am not a party guy, the program offered me a lot of sightseeing, city tours, I visited museums, parks and everything possible. Two weeks is ideal time for getting to know new people, making new friendships, to learn something and enjoy city. I would recommend joining ESS for everyone.

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 ??
Lisette
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.
