Annotation -
This type of alternative practice allows students to gain practical experience in facilities where they can apply for positions as instructors in adult leisure or professional education after completing their bachelor's degree. This particularly involves educational agencies and institutions, non-profit organizations, and other entities. During the practice, students observe the work of instructors, assist them, and help prepare and implement various educational activities for adults. The practice is reflected upon, and students create written records of its progress. Through their work and behavior in the leisure facility, students represent the Faculty of Education at Charles University in Prague. They adhere to the internal regulations of the facility and occupational safety rules, which they are obliged to familiarize themselves with. Students also respect confidentiality obligations and the protection of personal data.
