Pre-Easter Gathering of our university international community

Mgr. Pavla Svítková — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 09:03:04 +0000

Pre-Easter Gathering of our university international community Mgr. Pavla Svítková Wed, 04/16/2025 - 11:03

On the afternoon of Wednesday, 9 April 2025, the International Office organized a meeting for the international community of the ��ɫֱ��, 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.

Matt Field and other guests lectured on the future of society

Ing. Jan Pražák — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 08:42:41 +0000

Matt Field and other guests lectured on the future of society Ing. Jan Pražák Thu, 04/03/2025 - 10:42

In collaboration with the Faculty of Economics and Administration at the ��ɫֱ��, another edition of the event Society and its Governance took place on Wednesday, April 2nd, focusing this time on the future. Students had the opportunity to attend inspiring lectures throughout the day, where guests reflected on current and pressing issues in today’s world.

The Faculty of Arts and Philosophy invited Tadeáš Žďárský from the initiative Nerůst NaZemi, who discussed the incompatibility of continuous economic growth with the effort to save the planet. In short, to protect the Earth, we must seek alternatives to capitalism.

Another guest was Martin Richter, co-founder of Aignos, who introduced the possibilities of using generative artificial intelligence for simulating reality. In his lecture, he also addressed the negative aspects of AI, particularly its impact on artistic creation. As an example, he mentioned a design for the cover of a university magazine, where artificial intelligence led to conformity and the suppression of the author’s personal touch.

The highlight of the day’s program was the lecture by Matt Field, the British Ambassador to the Czech Republic. Matt Field, who studied anthropology, religious studies, and business studies, was the perfect guest connecting the economic and humanities focus of both faculties. In his lecture, he pointed out that today’s world is changing faster than ever before—perhaps most significantly since the end of World War II. Therefore, he believes it is crucial to constantly conduct a reality check and reflect on what is happening around us.

In connection with artificial intelligence, he emphasized that every crisis brings new opportunities. He also reminded the audience that both Czechs and Brits have many reasons to be proud.

Matt Field concluded his speech with an optimistic call: "Being curious is the greatest superpower."

Christmas Greeting from the Rector Mgr. Pavla Svítková Fri, 12/20/2024 - 11:20

Dear colleagues, dear students,

I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Ahead of us is the season we spend with our families and loved ones every year. These days are of great value not only for the closeness they bring, for shortening the distances between people, but also for their peace.

Thanks to this, we each have a chance to look back and reflect on all the adventures, joys and experiences this year has brought us.

Happy reminiscing, and continued personal success to you all in 2025.

Professor Libor Čapek, Rector

Pre-Christmas gathering of international students and staff of UPCE

Mgr. Pavla Svítková — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 11:39:54 +0000

Pre-Christmas gathering of international students and staff of UPCE Mgr. Pavla Svítková Tue, 12/17/2024 - 12:39

The international students and staff at UPCE decided to turn the unlucky Friday the 13th into a day to pause during the pre-Christmas period and meet with colleagues.

With the help of the International Office, they discovered when and why St. Nicholas and the Three Kings walk around Pardubice, what's behind the golden pig, and what to put under the plate at Christmas Eve dinner. Some of this was new to them, while for others it was a refresher.

Those who were interested got creative, floating candles in nutshell boats on the water, decorating gingerbread, or making Christmas decorations, while chatting in the meantime. It was a great chance to get to know each other better. We found out who doesn't celebrate Christmas, who will be staying in Pardubice, who will be meeting their family, and we even got the recipe for kutia and other specialties.

Thank you all for a lovely evening!
