In addition to the assistance provided by the International Office during the Orientation Programme, the new incoming international students have an opportunity to get a BUDDY - a local student who can assist them with orientation, answer practical questions, and introduce them to local culture, student life, and everyday customs.

Organised by ESN CU Prague, the Buddy Programme aims to link international and home students by providing exchange students with a helping hand for an easier start to your stay, while also giving Czech students an opportunity to practise a foreign language and meet new people.

• To apply for a Buddy, you need to register via Charles University app. You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play.

Besides the Buddy Programme, the ESN CU also organizes a Welcome Week and many activities on a regular basis throughout the semester.

For more information see the ESN CU Prague website, Facebook or Instagram.

Students also may join Facebook group and WhatsApp group, links to both groups are shared on the ESN CU Prague social media.
