Community and Nationality-Based Organisations

Community and nationality-based organisations and associations enrich community life, cultural activities and interactions between foreigners and national minorities in Prague. People who are in contact with others from the same linguistic, cultural or national background often find it easier to make the Czech Republic their new home. These organisations provide a space for sharing experiences and supporting one another, organise cultural, educational and social events, and help expats maintain the language and traditions of their country of origin.
