            The ancient walls of Carolinum, the seat of the directory of Charles University in Prague,

            ceremonial halls located in the heart of Prague’s Old Town, are often host to formal event
            graduation ceremonies, which are usually held for 25-35 students only (unlike in countries
            UK or US), alternate with conferences, receptions, concerts and exhibitions. A few times d

            however, the students take over. One of the events that has gained a firm place in the age
            student community is the Student Fair / Studentský jarmark, held annually at the beginning
            In the afternoon of October 7th around 30 wooden and fabric stands, reminiscent of a medie

            fair, were placed in the yards of CU’s Carolinum and Celetná Street buildings. The order o
            familiarise interested freshers with the various student associations active at CU in Prag

            the variety was extensive. The local Amnesty International stand stood next to the FFabula
            responsible for connecting students of History), beside these stood a stand dedicated to t
            of Psychology. In the opposite row of booths, young lawyers (VŠEHRD, Prague German Club) a

            students were represented. The International CUNI Club represented the associations respon
            organisation of extracurricular programmes along with tutoring systems for international s
            was topped off with several stands offering food and drinks, as well as a stage for the an

            performance.
            The only downside of the event was the rainy weather. Indeed, in comparison to previous ye
            damp weather deterred students from attending. There is an argument to be made for hosting

            (as is custom in countries such as the UK), however anyone who studies in Prague knows tha
            the city and the cobbled yards of the Carolinum are half the charm of studying here. Let u
            for a fair day for the Student Fair 2016 – and a smooth continuation of the now well estab

            this CU freshman event.
