TFAS is Returning to Prague

2019 TFAS Prague students in Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí), Prague’s center of many social and historical events including democratic demonstrations and celebrations.

After a two-year hiatus, The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) is thrilled to return to the Czech Republic with two programs this July: TFAS Prague and the European Journalism Institute (EJI). Prague is the location of TFAS’s flagship international program, the first of which occurred nearly 30 years ago in 1993.

The TFAS International team is working hard to ensure safe and engaging experiences for the participants. By participating in a TFAS International program, students gain an expanded network of global contacts; an understanding of the ideas most conducive to individual freedom, human achievement and personal responsibility; and an international experience to advance their educational and professional development.

I have heard too many times the term ‘life-changing experience,’ but only after TFAS Prague was it clear for me. The program was extremely enriching in all regards…”– Giorgi Eliozashvili ’19
