As part of the so-called Welcome days, the students were treated to a full-day programme, during which they were given a tour of the city centre of Opava with expert commentary, an introduction to the various departments under the university and a view of the Watchtower Hláska.
After a hearty lunch, the students engaged their brains in a quiz that tested how much they know our university environment and the Czech Republic itself. The first three places won beautiful prizes.
The final programme was a visit to the Unisphere spherical projection at the Institute of Physics in Opava, where students got acquainted with this immersive medium and were then treated to a fulldome screening of the programme The search for life in space.
The aim of this programme was to introduce the students not only to the place where their lessons take place, but also to each other, so that they could establish close friendships with each other and enjoy their stay at the Silesian University of Opava as much as possible.
On the second day, the students from Opava went to the The School of Business Administration in Karvina, where in return they learned about the local workplace and took part in an interactive programme.
