Syllabus
The excursion consists of three consecutive parts – the introductory meeting, the excursion itself and the final summarizing seminar. The obligatory introductory meeting introduces the students to the specific content of the excursion and organizational instructions, during which the students will also choose one of the topics offered, which they will prepare in the form of a short report presented during the excursion. A condition for awarding the attestation is also the preparation of a final written work/essay on a topic related to the guided excursion.
The content of the field trips will vary from semester to semester, the topics will be specified before the beginning of the semester of the SIS syllabus. Outings and places will also be continuously supplemented by links to the selected research topics of the students. The seminar can also be extended by excursions outside of Prague or dedicated to contemporary culture, the accompanying part can also include a visit to a theater performance and a classical music concert.
For the summer semester of the school year 2022 / 2023, after consultation with some students (participants of Thematic Excursion I), the following topic was chosen: A walk around Prague's cafes, wine bars, pubs and restaurants (the role of pubs in Czech cultural history and in the life of Prague).
