Hello there
Welcome to the section page of ESN CTU in Prague. As you can see, we are the section with the most original and creative name. That alone should warrant a visit or at least checking out our page.
Who are we?
- Our vision is to create an international community at the Czech Technical University in Prague
- The history of our student organisation goes back to 1999
- We cooperate with other sections (especially with other four Prague sections)
- Our mascot is Mr. Red Couch. You can see him here.

Coming to Prague for Erasmus?
If you are coming to CTU for an exchange, we have a lot of stuff prepared for you. Firstly you can ask for a local student to become your Buddy. They will help you and answer your questions or even pick you up from the airport. The week before the start of the school semester, we will organise Orientation Week. During this event, you will discover Prague and other parts of the Czech Republic, meet your peers, and of course get important information that will help you with your stay.
Are you coming to Prague and you would like someone from the locals to help you out? We will send you an email before the semester starts!

Culture evenings & inteGREAT parties
Every fortnight we organise Culture evenings where you, the international students at CTU, have the opportunity to present your country in an informal (or fun) way, show some traditions or cook your national meals.
inteGREAT parties (as the name suggests) are parties focused on integrating exchange students and local students.
Languages
ISC also helps organizing language courses that everyone can participate in or better, you can teach yourself. There will also be Café Lingea which are chill evenings when you speak English and one another language with the native speakers. And on top of that we manage Tandem database which connects 2 people who want to know the language of the other person.
Activities and trips
- Trips in the Czech Republic and even abroad during the whole semester
- Sport activities, like beach volleyball, floorball or bouldering
- Board games, dance lessons, laser tag and more
Wanna join us?
If you'd like to get involved, there are many ways to help us.
Buddy programme
You can choose an exchange student (or more, like 10) as your buddy. Then you will take care of him and hopefully become their friend. Our Buddy handbook will help you with that.
More info on the buddy programme and how to become a buddy here.
Do you want to get in touch with us personally? Awesome! You can visit us in our ESN Point or attend any of our team meetings. If you'd like to have some fun you can check out our parties or activities.
