Who are we and what do we do?

Mezinárodní studentský klub v Brně/International Student Club in Brno (ISC MU Brno) is a non-profit and non-political student organization established in summer 2003 in order to help exchange students coming to study at Masaryk University (MU) in the new setting. In August 2004, ISC MU Brno became part of Erasmus Student Network (ESN) and in 2010 was given ESN STARlight Prize for the best ESN club. 

Throughout the semester, we organize several activities for the exchange students. Their main aim is to promote better involvement of the exchange students in Czech student society and the local cultural life. The main pilars of our activities are:

• Tutor Programme - each incoming student (if willing) is paired with one Czech tutor who is supposed to help him after arrival and also during the whole stay
• Country Presentations - once a week the students have chance to present their country to others (by videos, a short theatre performance, dance etc.)
• Language Courses - students can get involved either in language courses (one student teaching group of students) or so-called tandem (two students teaching each other his/her mother tongue)
• Trips & Excursions - we organize shorter trips (in the Czech Republic, e.g. cities around Brno or National Reservations) and longer excursions (e.g. to Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Wroclaw)
• Sports - either regular or one-shot sport events(e.g. futsal or beach-volleyball)
• Parties - are organized every week to provide students informal place to meet each other, the parties are usually thematic and with a dress-code; we organize the speciál parties like Boat Party, Tram Party, Beer Marathon and Erasmus Night in cooperation with other ESN sections in Brno.
• Board Games –  students can meet in a nice place and play all together some board games
• SocialErasmus  - we organize set of special activites to make the exchange stay in Czech Republic unforgettable. 

 Furthermore, ISC MU Brno has organised:

• Section meeting in 2005 and 2010 with delegates from Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic
• Erasmus Days - 4 days of workshops about Erasmus ending with a huge Erasmus birthday party
• ESN ČR Olympics in cooperation with ISC VUT and ISC Mendelu
• Central European Platform in cooperation with ISC VUT and ISC Mendelu
