Czech language and the academic field

We often organize special events and meetings with relevant guests for both the students and the university staff.

Servírujeme češtinu: Czech Conversation Club

In addition to teaching itself, we also focus on helping students in Egypt to explore Czech culture in the broadest contexts. We perceive language as a natural way to understand culture, and therefore we strive to ensure that studying Czech also offers a deeper understanding of Czech identity.

Czech language courses are complemented directly in Cairo by a regular conversation club Servírujeme češtinu . With the participation of native Czech speakers, it is well attended by students and graduates of Czech studies from Ain Shams University. The conversation club usually offers topics related to Czech culture (customs and traditions, Czech UNESCO heritage, etc.).

European Day of Languages in Cairo

In 2024, the Czech Centre Cairo, together with Instituto Cervantes El Cairo , was at the birth of a significant event – the celebration of the European Day of Languages. The first edition of the European Day of Languages in Cairo was attended by embassies and cultural institutes from eleven European countries, including Ukraine. In September 2025, the event was already under the patronage of the EU Delegation in Egypt, interest further increased, and sixteen states joined the program, including invited Turkey and Great Britain. The participation of EU Ambassador Angelina Eichhorst added extraordinary prestige to the event.

In both editions, the European Day of Languages offered a morning program for several hundred high school students from various Cairo schools. Students could participate in so-called Lessons Zero, short sample lessons emphasizing smaller European languages, including Czech. The afternoon part for the general public then combined presentations of individual countries at booths with a diverse range of language activities, games, concerts, and slam poetry. The first edition culminated in a slam showcase, where four Czech slam poets presented their performances alongside four Egyptian poets.
