If you have just moved to the Czech Republic and you are experiencing difficulties with getting accustomed to life here, there is a free course that will help you get all the necessary information on relocation.
Brno, Apr 18 (BD) – The South Moravian Regional Centre to Support the Integration of Foreigners invites you to their next free integration course for immigrants on May 12 from 9am to 5pm.
The course, called “Welcome to the Czech Republic“, takes place regularly in Russian and English in Brno.
The integration course offers information about housing, residence legislation, employment, healthcare, the education system, and many other practical things.
“Attending the official integration course is the best opportunity for foreigners to gain essential immigration information, and it’s free of charge,” PR manager of the course Filip Davydov says.

The May 12 course is intended for non-EU nationals only and will be held in English. The number of participants for the integration course is limited to 25 people.
