2) Weekly Open support meeting(s) for English-speaking students at Charles University

May I come without any registration or so? Yes, indeed.

May I come multiple times? Yes, indeed.

May I bring a friend with me? Yes, indeed.

Meetings are modeled on encounter groups, but they are not therapeutic meetings.

Everyone is welcome, not only students with physical or emotional problems.

Participating in a meeting allows you to be with people with similar feelings, worries, and everyday problems. Traditionally, our meetings are a space to get to know other students from different faculties, countries, and cultures.

Meetings are open for anyone who needs support and also those who are eager to support others in the stressful times we all study and live in. Feel free to come in on and meet new people.

These goups are not only for the international students, we welcome also Czech and Slovak students who can speak English.

Meetings are facilitated by a coach Mgr. Jakub Fiala and a psychologist Mgr. Pavla Čípková and/or Mgr. Lukáš Pánek occasionally accompanied by guest colleagues from Carolina Centre.
