What is A Day with Ambassador program?

The Embassy of Czechia in Seoul announces its annual “A Day with Ambassador” program, designed to offer selected university and college students the opportunity to experience the work of a senior-level diplomat.

Three selected students will visit the Czech Embassy on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, for a half‑day program introducing the mission, responsibilities, and daily operations of a diplomatic post. In addition, one grand winner will have an exclusive opportunity to accompany Ambassador Ivan Jančárek throughout his full day of activities on Wednesday, 13 May 2026, gaining first‑hand insight into diplomatic work.

All participants will receive a certificate from the Embassy along with small gifts from Czechia.

 

Why should you apply for this program?

Engaging with the Czech Embassy offers young students a valuable opportunity to gain first‑hand insight into how international cooperation functions across a wide range of fields. Through dialogue with diplomats and professionals, participants can explore areas such as politics, public diplomacy, cultural exchange, education, science and innovation, economic cooperation, and people‑to‑people engagement. These discussions will help students understand the diverse ways countries build partnerships and address global challenges.

We hope this experience serves as a meaningful stepping stone for the next generation of global leaders, regardless of their academic background or career interests.

 

You may apply if you are:

• Bachelor’s or master’s students (18+)
