The Czech Embassy’s roadshow through the provinces of Cambodia, which started in August in Kep, made its next stop in Battambang on September 22, 2026. The embassy’s goal is to venture beyond the capital and introduce the Czech Republic, its beauty, and its traditions to the kingdom’s various regions. And to present in the provinces the activities of the Embassy, the possibilities of involvement in development as well as increasingly also in business cooperation. And last but not least introduce study opportunities. The roadshow also helps to establish direct, personal contact with local communities, students, and regional partners. After Battambang, Siem Reap is expected to follow by the end of the year, and the program will continue in other provinces of the Kingdom throughout the year of 2027.
The event was hosted at the National University of Battambang (NUBB). In close cooperation with the university administration and representatives of Battambang Province, the Embassy organized a series of presentations focused primarily on future Czech Cambodian cooperation. The presentations focused on opportunities in the areas of education and scholarships for studying in the Czech Republic, development projects, entrepreneurship, and cultural exchange. The event attracted a wide audience, ranging from NUBB students and members of academic staff to representatives of local government and the business community.
The program also included an accompanying exhibition of photographs depicting the Czech countryside and traditions, along with a display of renowned Czech glass art and design. This exhibition was organized by Czech expats and volunteers from the Bohemindo Cambodia association. Visitors to the event thus had an unique opportunity to experience an authentic Czech atmosphere and learn about Czech culture, as well as explore opportunities for study and collaboration right in Battambang.
