From Prague to Kraków to Budapest, explore the history of conflict and peacebuilding in cities that were once part of the communist East and faced destruction during WWII. Start your trip in Berlin, where you’ll come together with other students and teachers to focus on Creating a Sustainable Future. 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. 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. 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.
