Description

Prague hosts more than 20,000 international students. We will run airport pick-ups, a weekly international café and host-family dinners with local Christians. Interested students can join English-language Bible discussion groups.

Problem

International students often feel isolated and rarely see the inside of a Czech home.

Solution

Practical welcome and genuine friendship through churches and volunteer host families.

Activities

Welcome week; weekly café; 40 host families; discovery Bible groups.

Target population

International students in Prague, especially from Asia and Africa

Project leader

Mgr. Daniel Fiala
National Coordinator

Leads Studentská brána and has studied in Scotland, where he experienced this kind of welcome himself.

Goals

  1. Students welcomed 300
    Students attending at least one event
  2. Host families 40
    Local families hosting students

Immediate results

The café opens at the start of the winter semester and the first host families are matched.
