14 days
Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany
From Budapest to Kraków to Prague, explore the history of conflict and peacebuilding in cities that were once part of the communist East and faced destruction during WWII. In Budapest, see how a history of divisions and unifications affects modern-day life as you wander through Memento Park and visit Europe’s largest synagogue. Then continue on to Kraków, the only major Polish city to escape devastation during World War II, for a lesson in building a peaceful and inclusive society. Reflecting on the past helps us to better navigate today’s international relations, and there is no better place to do that than in Prague—the former capital of the Holy Roman Empire, where old-world charm meets youthful energy. End your trip in Berlin, where you’ll come together with other students and teachers to focus on Creating a Sustainable Future.
