Origins of Pils – Pan-european event

The CEMS Alumni Association Prague is proud to inform you it was the host of a pan european event – Origins of Pils, during the mid-April weekend.

Since Czechs are the biggest consumers of beer in the world, we decided to organise an event, where you could find out more about beer brewing and of course taste various types of beer and get to know Czech culture a bit.

The weekend started on Friday evening by visiting a Czech pub with over 200 beers on menu. On Saturday we had a lunch and an excursion in a micro brewery, we went to see the Krivoklat castle, where our most famous king Charles IV. was grown up, and we finished the day with a wonderful tour of the Pilsen brewery and with a dinner right in the brewery cellars where the beer used to maturate, with unlimited consumation of fresh, non fermented beer. On Sunday we finished the weekend with a brunch and sightseeing of Prague.

We would like to thank all participants for coming, especially to foreigners who did not give up when their flights have been cancelled!

Coaching with Future leader

On Monday, April 12th, another CEMS „Meet the...“ professional seminar took place. This time our guest was Miroslav Spousta, a coach from the Future leader project, a vice president of the Czech coaching association and a member of International Couch Federation.

During the seminar participants could find out what is coaching, which different approaches can you meet, how a coach works, how to choose the right coach for you, what to expect from him, etc.

We are glad such a big number of participants came, hope you enjoyed it and looking forward to seeing you on our next seminar: Questioning and listening skills (details coming soon).

CEMS Alumni Association Newsletter

Here comes the third CEMS Alumni Association video newsletter.

This newsletter features:

• CEMS Annual Events: The CEMS Alumni crowd is getting bigger: more than 500 graduated at Cologne totalling the number of alumni to more than 5.500. Beside the graduation, Cologne also hosted the first CEMS Alumni Professional Events with a panel discussion and workshops on the topic “Crisis as a Career Opportunity”. We have received some very positive feedback. Enclosed some impressions for you …
• CEMS Magazine – May Edition: After an amazing first edition, we are quickly approaching the next CEMS Magazine in May. The graphic and editorial makeover of the CEMS magazine in November was successful and it is my pleasure to be able to offer you another opportunity to contribute. The governing topic of this edition will be “New Age of Branding”. Please find further details at the link below, including the title and subject of the central feature for the May issue and the deadline for sending articles (Friday March 19, 2010). Do not hesitate to contact Agata Rundo if you have any further questions on editorial contributions to CEMS Magazine (call for contributions, ppt).
• Last but not least, please continue your support and renew your membership. You can do it directly on CEMS.org within a minute.

Some pics from our events

Let us share with you some pics from our recent events.

This picture comes from the alumni skiing weekend in Jizerské hory, Albrechtice (19-21 February). Hopefully somebody from the participants will share some stories with us (as well as explanation of this photo) - the ones I have heard so far were quite unclear and I couldn't figure out what was really happening there (Vasek, could you add something, maybe?).

The other event can be described a little bit better as I was one of the participants.
Meet the... public sector seminar took place on 1 March at VSE and as you can see from this picture the number of students interested in our experience was fair enough. As far as I know they enjoyed the stories and experience of the speakers: Alice Savovová (director of Association for International Affairs), Antonín Berdych (former director of the office of Alexander Vondra), Marek Svoboda (director of the Centre for Human Rigths of People in Need) and me - Vojtěch Opleštil (consultant with Deloitte for public sector clients).

Fortunately the event didn't finish after Q&A but continued in the well-known Sklep restaurant.
Do you have any pictures you would like to share? Let me know at vojtech.oplestil@gmail.com.

CEMS Prague Journal #3

Even though our study years are gone you may want to get informed on what is going on within the Prague (mainly student) CEMS community. The best way to do so is to read the brand new CEMS Prague Journal (pdf, 3,8 MB).
The professionally published magazine does not make any difference between students and alumni and so you may find pictures from some alumni events (such as the before Christmas meeting and rope center event) and much more.
