But do students that face these issues actually want such a service?

Social Integration Through English?

The English Club, which has been running for several years, allows the children to “form a positive relationship to English through fun activities and games and then it is also easier for them to learn English at school,” explains Tučková.

Stanislav Lahoda is not a very well known name. But his works decorate interiors all over the world. He is a Czech painter and sells his pictures in the historical heart of Prague, on the Charles Bridge.
His story sounds like a fairy tale: Lahoda wanted to become a painter from the time he was a small boy. But during the communist era he was not allowed to study art and could never officially present or sell his works. Instead, he worked in a factory and painting remained just a hobby.

Combining work and travel pays off

As summertime nears, students plot their plans for months of freedom, the perfect chance for extended trips to explore new cultures. But preparing for life after college is also critical, and summer employment is a perfect way to do this.
