Personal Development
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!
Personal Development
2018
I was enrolled in the personal and professional development course - it consists of many practical elements which helps you bond with your fellow classmates and apply the knowledge you have gained. I particularly enjoyed the focus on public speaking. The accommodation suited our needs and the activity coordinators gave us the experience of a lifetime in Prague (thank you team ESS!). If you are looking for a light, fun and enriching summer course - this is the place for you!
Illustration Practice
2015
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.
