On the afternoon of Wednesday, 9 April 2025, the International Office organized a meeting for the international community of the University of Pardubice, inviting international students, staff, and their families.
Colleagues from abroad learned about how and when Easter is celebrated in the Czech Republic, what traditions are associated with it, and even tried some of them with enthusiasm. We decorated Easter eggs with colored hot wax and were amazed at the skill and creativity of those who saw and tried the technique for the first time, including our youngest participant, aged five. Finally, we made Easter whips out of willow twigs.
The meeting was a great opportunity to learn about Czech Easter traditions and make new contacts and friendships. Everyone enjoyed meeting colleagues from other faculties and departments whom they would not otherwise meet and sharing their experiences in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
The International Office would like to thank everyone for an enjoyable afternoon and looks forward to future gatherings that will surely help our international colleagues feel at home at UPCE.
