Bakala Scholars shared their experience with high schoolers

The Bakala Foundation gave a special holiday gift for high school students: 20 lectures led by those who – thanks to the Bakala Foundation scholarship – are studying at prestigious universities abroad. High schoolers had an opportunity to get not only first-hand information about studying at these universities, but also to discuss various fields of study in an interactive way. Among others, Jakub Jílek presented his approach to improving cognitive functions, Zuzana Picková talked about the European Union and her role in its institutions and Adam Přáda introduced “quantum mechanics without quantum of mathematics.” Overview of all topics is available on the Bakala Foundation’s website.

In the afternoon, the scholars, alumni and friends of the Bakala Foundation enjoyed a debate with leading political commentators Petr Honzejk (Hospodářské noviny), Jindřich Šídlo (Seznam.cz) and Petr Kamberský (Lidové noviny), who gave a priceless insight into current political situation in the Czech Republic.
