F2710: Leadership & the Community
Explore how others are “Impacting” change in Prague!

How do we mobilize people with diverse interests into a cohesive community? Develop theoretical and practical understanding of how communities utilize innovation to solve complex issues (and apply these to your own understanding of yourself as a leader and innovator). Set in the vibrant city Prague, we have the unique opportunity to visit Impact HUBs and meet social innovators.  As part of this dynamic course we investigate:

  • What is community? How do we build the necessary bonds of trust and reciprocity (social capital)?
  • How do you mobilize a community?
  • How is innovation a new tool for building strong communities?
  • What are the most effective leadership styles for community innovation?
  • How does culture affect innovation?

​Directly interact with innovators and social innovators and learn 1) how the culture, politics, and social capital impacts each city’s community development and approach to innovation; and 2) best practices of social innovation and entrepreneurship.

This course is open to all majors.

This course is taught in English and fully accredited and earns 3 US/ 6 ECTS university credits . Transcripts are issued by Charles University, the oldest university in Eastern Europe. Most students are able to transfer credit from the program as long as arrangements are made in advance with their home university. Please consult your home university prior to attending the program for specific details on transferring credit

Prague is ranked as one of the best cities for international students due to its affordability, diversity, and friendliness.

Explore these vibrant cities through visits to important historical and cultural sites:

  • Communist Museum

Transportation. Prague is a wonderful walkable city with excellent public transportation systems.  You will purchase a transportation pass in Prague (approximately 25USD or 35USD for students over 26) that covers all of your tram, bus, and metro travel.

The cost for the 2 week program is $3050 USD. This includes tuition (4 US/ 8 ECTS credits), housing, field trips, and cultural activities. Travel to Prague, transportation pass, and meals are not included. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure a spot in program. Payment plans can be arranged.  Travel to the program is not included, but you can book plane tickets through STA Travel, the world’s largest student travel company.

Scholarships

We understand that study abroad is an important investment in your intellectual and personal growth. Sometimes you need a little help, that’s why we offer a limited number of scholarships. Not full scholarships; but partial scholarships. Scholarships are primarily reserved for students from Eastern Europe and developing countries, but it never hurts to ask (it’s in the application). Check with your school, too. Your study abroad, student activities, honors and/or financial aid office may have resources. Many of our students receive assistance from their universities or community. We will even give you a letter to help you out!
