Discover East Central Europe's rich Jewish history, culture and contemporary life! CET Academic Programs is proud to organize short-term excursions to meet Czech Jewish youth in Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

In 2007, CET arranged two spring break programs for students from the University of Rhode Island, Carleton College, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Students from both programs were delighted to spend their spring break on a program that mixes education, community service, and interaction with the local Jewish community.
