Let´s party!
Interested in finding out in which Dutch city the best cheese market is held? Would you fancy hearing a Brazilian tell about the Rio de Janeiro carnival? Are you on the look for tips where to go fishing in Norway? If you prefer a relaxed and informal atmosphere, you might enjoy country presentations held every Wednesday from 8pm at the Faculty of Economics and Administration, Masaryk University, Brno. They are organized by the International Student Club (ISC) and prepared by foreign exchange students. Traditionally, the students bring samples of their national cuisine, too. After each presentation, there is a thematic party in Mandarin Club.
Are you a foreign student yourself, and are you interested in learning what more the ISC does? Have you just recently moved to Brno and do you wonder where to meet new people and join in the social life? The ISC has more to offer. If you become a member, you have plenty of options how to spend your free time in Brno and surroundings. Often, you get a nice reduction as an ESN card-holder.
For instance, there are cultural events organized, such as visiting exhibitions together, and regular cinema evenings, which are held every Monday in Clubwash. Here you can taste not only beer but also something from the Czech cinematography. A personal tip of ours is The Primary School (November 30th). Tuesday is the day for board games in the Travellers’ Club. You can immerse yourself in the world of Poker, Settlers of Catan or Bang! there.
For both foreign and regular students of Masaryk University, language courses are offered every semester. You can learn Czech or other languages you dream of, always from a native speaker. For the current schedule, and all further information and contacts, see isc.muni.cz.
What is actually the ISC?
The International Student Club Masaryk University (ISC MU) was founded in 2003 with the aim of integrating foreign students coming to Masaryk University. From 2004, it is a member of Erasmus Student Network (ESN), a non-profit, non-political organization that integrates volunteers, especially university students, and that works on the basis „students help other students“. The ESN was set up in 1990 with assistance of the European Commission. The aim was to help the integration of both international and domestic students all around Europe. A lot of young Europeans got interested in the idea and by now the ESN has over 300 member clubs. Nine of them can be found in the Czech Republic, ISC MU included.
The ISC MU has currently around 600 members, 300 of those are exchange students from more than 40 countries.
