PT Javorina (SK) 20. 7. –⁠ 27. 7. 2025 // capacity: 64 students
‘B’ is an international and thematic Arts+Science session. By putting an emphasis on these two seemingly opposite spheres of knowledge, we hope to start meaningful conversations between people from different fields and bring into the light the interconnectedness of these disciplines, revealing them as two sides of the same coin. The week will also be filled with holistic activities (movement, discussions, sports, crafts, and all kinds of fun & games), though more on the chill side. This session will take place in the beautiful landscapes of Slovakia, at PT Javorina (Myjava). xoxo!

Lying in the heart of the Kopaničářský region in the beautiful White Carpathians, the cottage complex of PT Javorina is located behind the village of Stará Myjava in a quiet environment among the trees. Next to the cottages you will find a large social hall with a kitchen. There is a beautiful reservoir for swimming nearby, along with hiking trails, cycling routes, beach-volleyball court and grass football pitches.

Coordinators: Laura Prachárová and Štěpán Folget

Session ‘D’ is the second international Discover Session of the summer! Our diverse team of tutors and organisers from 9 different nationalities is beyond excited to bring you a broad selection of courses! Other parts of the programme in the session are focused on themes such as personal development, holistic growth, mental health, as well as international opportunities and navigating the challenges related to experiencing them. Our session will take place in the beautiful monastery of Svaty Jan, just outside Prague. We look forward to seeing you there!

Accommodation is provided in a former Benedictine monastery, which is now a pedagogical college. Thanks to its age and strong walls, the monastery is pleasantly cool even in the summer, and all rooms, including classrooms and dining hall, are in very close proximity to one another. Participants are accommodated in multi-bedded rooms and shared sanitary facilities are located on each floor. Bedrooms and bathrooms are gender-segregated, and there are gender-neutral toilets. A few steps away from the main building is a large garden that belongs to the monastery, where you can relax, play various games or try slacklining. St. John’s Cliff towers over the whole area and offers a beautiful view of the surroundings. Not too far from the monastery lie the Nová Amerika quarry and Karlštejn Castle, where you can go on a trip.

Sv. Jan pod Skalou (CZ) 10. 8. –⁠ 17. 8. 2025 // capacity: 80 students
The Czech-Slovak Session E will take place in the picturesque village of Sv. Jan pod Skalou, in the premises of a former Benedictine monastery just a stone’s throw from Prague. The course selection is broad, including technical, practical, and humanities subjects. You’ll find everything from philosophy to climate change and AI, all the way to yoga. In addition to courses, as at every Discover, you’ll experience workshops, games, discussions, excursions, poetry, or simply lounging in the grass. You can also look forward to inspiring guest speakers. Overall, it will be a relaxed and welcoming turnus, where everyone is invited and you’ll have the opportunity to discover the best in yourself.

We will stay in a beautiful former Benedictine monastery, which now serves as a teacher training college. Even in summer, the air stays pleasantly cool, and thanks to the compactness of the campus, everything—from the rooms to classrooms to the dining hall—is just a short walk away. A few steps from the main building lies a spacious garden where you can relax, play sports, or try out the slackline. Towering above the campus is the St. John’s Rock, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
