NC State Prague is committed to supporting students at every phase of the study abroad process. Onsite staff is available to help students navigate the Czech culture and connect them to local organizations and resources.
Upon arrival, you will receive welcome packets containing an extensive list of resources, services, and events in Prague. Here is a comprehensive guide to identity-based resources in the Czech Republic. The capital city of Prague is home to many international companies and a bustling tourist industry that attracts visitors from around the globe. However, students may encounter instances of casual racism. The Czech Republic is known for its liberal approach, especially compared to other countries in the former Eastern Bloc.
Additionally, the country passed an anti-discrimination law that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation in various areas, such as employment, housing, and access to goods and services. Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is renowned for its open-mindedness and inclusive culture. Furthermore, the city supports an annual Prague Pride Parade. While the Czech Republic has traditional gender roles, there are groups advocating for feminism and gender equality.
However, the country still lags behind in accepting gender diversity. This is partly due to the heavily gendered language and binary understanding of gender in Czech society, but activists are working towards changing this perception. The Study Abroad Office maintains a comprehensive website on identity-based resources for students planning to study abroad.
Places of worship from diverse religions are available all over Prague. Prague, despite its cobblestone streets, offers various mobility and accessibility services. The majority of the metro stations, buses, and trams are easily accessible. Moreover, all tram and metro stations have installed audio devices that announce the approaching trams and directions of escalators.
