+ PhDr. Zuzi Lešková, PhD
While creative copywriting, employer branding and public speaking have always been in the centre of her attention, Zuzi is simply obsessive about anything that has to do with communication. She has developed several branding campaigns for big corporations or smaller businesses, obtained a PhD in marketing communication at Victoria University in Melbourne, have been working as a leading lecturer of various communication classes at top universities both in Australia and the Czech Republic and she especially enjoys turning her current profession of a copywriter into a hobby (writing blogs and books because, as Zuzi puts it: “not only does it sound good to say it, it simply feels good to do it”).

European Summer School helped me discover the best parts of Prague. The course was great, I learned many new things I will apply in both my studies as well my future life. The free time activities were also great with a combination of sightseeing and social events. I study at university, but European Summer School is the best school I went to so far. I will always remember my time in Prague thanks to the dedicated teachers, staff and classmates.

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!
