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.

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).
