2015
I found out many new things about compositions, colors and painting methods, which helped me to improve my creative, visual and drawing skills. I met lovely people from all over the world and I also learnt something about their culture. I had lot of fun, gained unforgettable memories, and explored a beautiful city – all thanks to European Summer School.

2017
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!

I went on the trip thinking I knew what the school would be about... it was better than anything I could of thought. Everyone was so lovely and it really was a once in a life time trip. It’s taught me how easy it is to live in another country and I was lucky enough to meet different people from different countries and backgrounds. I feel very bless to have had to opportunity. I would easily go again.
