Dobre den everyone!
Jak se mate? I will be attending TEFL Worldwide in August. After receiving my TEFL certification, I will be looking for a teaching job in Prague. I have California teaching credentials in elementary and adult education, as well as, seven years teaching experience.
My question is, in spite of my qualifications, do those of you who already live and teach in Prague think that I will have difficulty obtaining employment due to my skin colour? Thanks in advance for your replies!
Nashledanou,

You should be fine. I've got a couple of black friends who have lived/worked in the CR. They got some looks, but people were generally open and even rather eager to meet them. There is a small community of immigrants from Africa and a number of North American and British blacks - so while people with dark skins aren't numerous, they are not exactly rare, either. Your credentials also sound quite strong, so for what my opinion is worth, I'd think you'll have no trouble finding a niche in Prague. |

Ahoy Spiral78,
Dekuji for your response to my post. Can you tell me what areas skinheads are known to hang out so that I can steer clear of those places? I have been told that when they commit hate crimes, the police are very lenient and do not do anything to punish them. Thanks again for your help!
Nashledanou,

Pretty rare in Prague, so far as I know. Occasional events in smaller towns. Ask the TEFLW guys - if there have been any recent issues, they'll know more. Skinheads in Europe generally are not primarily after black people - they have generally different targets. People from the gypsy ('Roma') are the primary target of skinhead activity in the CR. |
