Starting January 20, In Baze, an organization devoted to integrating foreigners into Czech culture, launched its intercultural clubs for children from 5 to 18 years old.

Two Hour School
A new educational program for English-speaking children in Prague, Two Hour School, is designed for children from international families who attend Czech schools. International primary school teachers lead classes in English literacy and learning twice a week. Because students have already spent a day in school, the lessons are focused on energising and fun experiences through which kids can learn while fully engaged. See more here.
