FOR THE 2022 INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK the Chicago Chapter of the Fulbright Association along with the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in Chicago, invited the Chapter community for an evening of insightful speakers followed by a reception on the evening of Nov. 9, 2022. We had two honorable guests: The Consul General Mr. Jaroslav Kantůrek, and the Deputy Consul General Mr. Ondřej Pometlo of the Czech Republic both welcoming the Fulbright Chicago community with an opening and closing speech.

Vice-Consul Dr. Monika Bokšová discussed the Czech Presidency in the 2022 Council of the EU: “Europe as a task.” Dr. Déborah Marber discussed “The problem of empathic resistance: How failing to empathize with dissimilar others threatens the EU and what we can do to address it.”
The Consul General was very pleased to co-host the Chicago Chapter in its first joint event. He mentioned the previous history of the prior CG working with past president Mary Mares as well, and happy to continue in the friendship with Dr. Edel Jose and the board. Over 50 guests attended this educational event.

The post reflects on the 2022 International Education Week, emphasizing the significance of global educational exchange programs like Fulbright. Such initiatives foster cultural understanding and academic collaboration, mirroring the broader goal of accessible education seen in endeavors such as MBA Course Fees in Greater Noida and Top B.Tech College in Greater Noida.
