Study Photography in Prague

This program offers a unique opportunity to advanced, intermediate and beginning students of photography to apprentice with UT journalism professor Dennis Darling, while learning about the art, architecture, film and history of Prague and the Czech Republic.

This course consists of lectures on documentary photographic techniques and aesthetic principles as well as practical work on location. During the classroom sessions your photographs will be analyzed and critiques will offer direct feedback on content, storytelling, creativity and the technical aspects of your images. Although the images for class will be made digitally, you may also shoot film-based images (digital cameras will be available to students who require them). A number of field trips, guest lecturers and gallery visits are part of this program. Local program staff organize arrival pick up, orientation, housing and support students throughout the program's duration.

Jewish Studies in Prague

 Embark on a remarkable journey through Central and Eastern Europe's Jewish past and present! What better place to begin the adventure than Prague, home to one of Europe's oldest Jewish communities and a center of the contemporary European Jewish renaissance. Prague's thousand years of Jewish history, its Jewish Quarter with six surviving synagogues, and a growing Jewish community make it an excellent setting in which to explore Central and Eastern European Jewry.

CET students participate in the Jewish community through activities with the Czech Union of Jewish Youth as well as through community service projects. You will have the opportunity to study the rich history, culture, and literature of Central and Eastern European Jewry through intensive courses as well as travel and hands-on participation in the community.
