Course objectives (in Czech)
The lecture for both the bachelor’s and master’s study of the Faculties of Arts, Social Sciences, Education as well as for ERASMUS students is based on the explication and interpretation of the prtinciples of area studies in general and of Central European and Slavonic cultural area in particular.
