Trying Czech beer? Seeing Charles Bridge? Tasting beef tenderloin? What should most newly arrived foreigners from non-EU countries do after arriving in the Czech Republic? First of all, sign up for the adaptation-integration course "Welcome to the Czech Republic".

Although the number of temporary protection holders from Ukraine who canspeak Czech is increasing in the Czech Republic, 20% of them still do not speak the language at all. This alarming figure is a challenge for both the Ukrainian community and Czech society.

Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, we have been dedicated not only to direct aid to refugees, but together with researchers from the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Charles University, we have been investigating what life is like for war refugees in the Czech Republic.

It's already a tradition. At the end of June, we always meet in Na Pankráci Park at Café Na půl cesty, for a wonderful multicultural evening of music, dance, theatre and exotic food. This time a wild storm threw a wrench into the whole program, and everything went differently than it should have.

What is life like in the Czech Republic? What should foreigners know about a country in the heart of Europe before they decide to find a new home here? They will learn all about it in “Next Stop”, an updated instructional film that offers newcomers a basic overview of the Czech Republic.

Along with our European patners we submitted the Sound of Diversity project proposal.
