In order to help SPU students not only to master Czech, but also to meet other students and learn more about the Czech Republic, the organizers have prepared an excursion, which will take place on the first Saturday of each course. The one-day trip includes a travel by coach or train to a countryside resort, visits to castles, monuments, and other places of interest.
The cost of the excursion is included in the SPU course fee and covers transportation and all entrance fees.
More detailed info about SPU excursions will be available in March 2010.
