About Program

Through a culturally-immersive learning framework, students in this course will explore how globalization (as process, practice, and system) intersects evolving conceptions of media, communication and culture as international phenomena.

Utilizing directed engagements with the Czech and Central European cultural context (visiting Krakow, Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, Brno and Southern Moravia), students will explore the Local as a context for understanding the Global, considering how their own culture, media, and means for communication (language, technology, symbolism, etc.) frame and connect their knowledge and personal experience of the world to broader understandings of their identity and perspective in the world.

Please note: this program can be combined with a 8-10 week Internship programme, for more information please write to info@czechmates.org

This programme includes 3-day excursions Krakow/Auschwitz, Vienna, and Budapest.
