Dr. Magda Giurcanu took 7 ECU students to Prague for the first study abroad program that the Political Science department has ever offered. The experience allowed students the opportunity to enroll into two courses, one taught by an ECU instructor and one course of their choice at the Anglo-American University in Prague. They spent 6 weeks in Prague (June 18 to July 27).
The program started with students attending Prague European Summit, a major 2-day event organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Czech Government. Students were able to interact with international thinkers, political analysts focused on the politics of Czech Republic, Eastern Europe, and the EU, as well ask key politicians from the area, the EU, and even US.
Among attendees and presenters we listened to the Prime Minister of Czech Republic, Andrej Babis, the Czech European Union Commissioner, Vera Jourova, as well as Wess Mitchell, the US Department of State Assistant Secretary for European Affairs. Several members of the European Parliament were also present. The audience was international, from all EU member states and the US.
