Summer school 2025

This summer school was truly a highlight of my summer! The program was very well organized, and from the start it was easy to settle in thanks to clear communication and supportive organizers. Brno itself was a great place to study abroad. It’s a lively city with plenty to explore. The cultural activities and trips made it easy to experience Czech culture and get to know other students. I’d definitely recommend this program if you’re looking for a short but enriching summer abroad that balances academics, culture, and social life.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Enjoy it! It will be over way too soon. And make sure to bring comfortable shoes, you’ll be exploring and walking around more than you expect!

Summer School 2025

It was a very well-organized summer school. Everything was planned, communicated, and you could just enjoy the experience. All the additional activities were very interesting, fun, and enjoyable, allowing you to integrate and not feel lonely (if you are traveling alone). I have no regrets.

You have a place to cook for yourself or for a group, or you can choose something in town. There is also a large selection of food on campus.

Communication with the organizers is very good. In addition, the classes were prepared in a very interesting way.

Brno is generally a very beautiful city, but if you don't like hills, think twice.

Review about Summer school

This summer school in the Czech Republic was truly one of the best academic and cultural experiences I have ever had. From the very first day until the end of the program, everything was extremely well organised, making it easy for all participants to focus on learning, building friendships, and enjoying every moment without any stress.

One of the strongest points of this summer school was the excellent organization. All schedules, classes, workshops, cultural activities, and excursions were clearly planned and communicated in advance. There was always someone available to help whenever we had a question or needed guidance. The smooth coordination between academic sessions and social activities made the entire experience both productive and enjoyable.

The academic content of the program was very interesting and practical. The lectures were delivered by knowledgeable and passionate instructors who encouraged participation and discussion. Even difficult topics were explained in a simple and engaging way. I felt that I gained not only theoretical knowledge but also useful practical insights that will definitely help me in my future studies and career.

Apart from academics, the social environment was incredibly welcoming. Participants came from different countries and cultures, which made the experience more enriching. We were encouraged to work in groups, share ideas, and learn from each other. This created a friendly atmosphere where everyone felt included and valued. I was able to make many new friends and build connections that I hope will last for a long time.

I would especially like to express my sincere gratitude to the organisers, particularly Adam and Petr. They were always kind, supportive, and approachable. No matter how small the issue was, they handled everything with patience and professionalism. Their positive attitude and constant availability made all participants feel safe and comfortable. It is clear that they truly care about the students and put a lot of effort into making the program successful.

The cultural activities and excursions were another highlight of the summer school. We had the opportunity to explore beautiful places in the Czech Republic, learn about its history, and experience the local culture. These trips were well arranged and allowed us to relax while also learning something new. They perfectly balanced the academic part of the program.

Overall, this summer school was an unforgettable experience. It helped me grow academically, socially, and personally. I returned home with new knowledge, wonderful memories, and a deeper appreciation for international education and cultural exchange. I would highly recommend this summer school to anyone who is looking for a well-organised, inspiring, and enjoyable learning experience. I am extremely grateful for everything and will always remember this program as a very special chapter of my life.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?

Review of Sports Sciences and Outdoor Education

The summer school was one of the best things in my summer!

The courses I had were out of many fields, yet all of them had connection with 'Sport'. Thus, I got to learn and experience from a very broad point of view. I loved that every day was different and that we had courses outside of classroom too. We got to see what sport possibilities Brno has outdoor, during summer.

I enjoyed the extra curricular activites a lot! They were really well-organised and matched to our interests. It was also a great opportunity to get to know the others more.

Brno is really a welcoming and student-friendly city, it's really worth it to discover. :)

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Use your time wisely, and make the best of your time there, because the whole programme will fly away really fast!

Great Program

Adam and crew were great hosts and provided a really good atmosphere for group learning. Highly recommended for anybody who wants to experience the Czech culture while also learning from a motivated group of educators.

The group interactive events are good for younger students and the main get-together events were also fun.

The professors have a lot of experience teaching to a wide audience with people from differing cultures, as this program has been around for several years.

From an older American graduate student perspective, the lodging was a little underwhelming and air conditioning in all classrooms and lodging would be a good addition to the program for the future.

Very good program!

Awesome Summer School

I had a great experience at this summer school! I followed the course on populism in the EU and it was super interesting with a very nice and knowledgeable teacher. Class was very interactive and I learned a lot. In the morning we had class and in the end of the afternoon very nice activity’s were organized each day. Brno was a great city to explore. If I would ever do another summer school it would be here! With the help of Adam,Peter and all the other nice people I met I had a great time!!! Would definitely recommend

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
Everything from the Tsjech cuisine. I would recommend Rezané (which I check beer)!
Pros

  • Activities
  • The sweet people
Cons
  • That the program was over after two weeks
