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 meet them on their arrival, accompany them to their accommodation, help you get familiarised with life in Prague, answer various questions regarding your stay in the Czech Republic in general etc.

Organised by ESN CU Prague, a local association of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) at Charles University, 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 at the Broaddy web application.

ESN CU Prague 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.
