Conflicts are a fact of life since we all have different values, needs, interests and goals. And as our world becomes increasingly interdependent, more and more people bump into one another more and more often. Organizations require professionals to deal with their counterparts in countries with different economic, cultural, legal and political environments. Nobody is a successful problem solver by nature. The good thing is that you can improve your skills by training with proven methods and techniques. With the help of these, you can be more effective in dealing with political and business conflicts.

I had the most creative and eye-catching opening summer this year at ESS where the classes were a perfect mix of understand brand building, concepts innovation in a setting that was relaxed and energising at the same time. The ESS crew was incredibly fun and friendly making the process of exploring culture and activities are Prague an englightening experience.

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!

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.
