Exchange - 08.3 History
Annotation -
The course is primarily aimed at Erasmus and other exchange programme students, who will be introduced to
Czech history and its connections with Nordic history. Czech students interested in Nordic history and its influence
on the Czech lands are also warmly welcome.
The course aims to introduce students to the mutual relations and contacts between the Czech lands and the
Nordic countries. During the course, the mutual contacts between the Czech and Nordic nations from the Middle
Ages to the 20th century will be addressed, both politically and culturally. The focus will not only be on the nature of
these contacts, but also on how they evolved over time and their potential for cultural transfer or inspiration in their
own development.
