Field Trip: Visit to CAMP
On November 14, 2024, TSEW students visited Prague's Center for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning (CAMP) as part of the course The European Union and the Global Climate Challenge. The visit focused on exploring the role of cities, in particular Prague, in sustainable development of the EU.
During the trip, students learned about CAMP's mission and projects, and had the chance to explore its current exhibition, Planet Prague, which showcases Prague's natural environment within an urban context.
We sincerely thank CAMP for hosting us for the second year in a row.
More photos from the visit can be found here.
