Summer School Program: Central Europe - A Birthplace of Modernity Course

Jan 21, 2017

During this program, lecturers conveyed topics about history, architecture, and sociology of Central Europe during 19th century to the Second World War in sessions. Sessions were practiced in lectures, seminars as well as excursions. Excursions were held in Prague, Vienna, and suburbs of Brno, where participants were able to admire artworks, visit historical sights, explore fantastic cities, and so on.
During this program, I made friends from many countries, such as Canada, Ukraine, Czech Republic, and Malaysia, which gave me a sort of cultural shocks.
