Accept our invitation to the trip to the second most beautiful city in the Czech Republic on October 28 – Český Krumlov. The guide will show you the historical center which is under the protection of UNESCO. You will also have enough time to explore the city or environs on your own. The registration is required through the form where you can also find more information.

#2: Visit Prague ZOO

The EPS programme supports the protection of endangered species. Concretely, it helps the herd of Przewalski’s horses in the Prague ZOO. Join us and see your horse on October 17! More information and the registration form, you can find here.

#3: International night at Charles University

Do you want to meet people from different countries; quizzes about these countries and the Czech Republic? You can either prepare some information about your country and bring something typical that represents it (photos, souvenirs, national dish…), participate in competitions (prizes to be won!), or just enjoy the chance to meet new people.
