“I am a senior lecturer in the Department of Public Management and Political Studies at the University of Namibia, where I teach courses on Political Philosophy and Decolonial Studies.”

“During my lectures at UHK in the Czech Republic, I focused on the topic of Decoloniality and its importance in former colonies. Unfortunately, the concept of Decoloniality is often misunderstood, particularly in Europe. Thus, I saw this as an opportunity to engage with European scholars and students and discuss the impacts of colonialism. This was my primary motivation for coming to UHK.”

“Secondly, I was also keen to engage with a diverse audience from different backgrounds and orientations. I believe that learning is a continuous process, and we can always benefit from exchanging views and knowledge with people in different contexts. By interacting with individuals from diverse environments, I hoped to unlearn and relearn new perspectives.”

“Thirdly, colleagues from the University of Hradec Kralove had visited the University of Namibia, and I wanted to reciprocate this gesture by strengthening the relationship between our institutions. This exchange program provides an opportunity to build bridges and create a mutually beneficial relationship between our universities.”

“I have not had much time to visit a lot of places except for Germany. For the time I have been here, I must admit that this place has a quite efficient infrastructure especially as one coming from Africa where our infrastructure is still lagging, particularly, public transport. I am impressed by how the transport system works efficiently and promptly as one is able to travel with much ease. I would however like to learn more about the Czech Republic.”

“I've had no difficulty communicating with the locals or navigating my way around here as they have been quite hospitable towards English speakers. Whenever they didn't comprehend my English, they would rely on Google Translate to comprehend my queries.”

“I wish to know more particularly about the country’s history, their culture, their national cuisine. It would have been great to get a guide on a few things such as how to move around more promptly and how to find various facilities such as shopping malls etc. With regards to UHK, I would wish to get a more elaborate orientation different from the city tour that I had with the Namibian students the other day. One visiting the UHK should have a knowledge of the University’s fraternity, the various faculties, the leadership of the university, how much staff are therein the Political Science department for instance, amongst others. I would recommend having someone more knowledgeable on the history and culture of Czech Republic and specifically Hradec Kralove take us through the orientation. Such a person would know perhaps the history of a given building, the architectural style and so on.”

“In regards to the students from my home university who have studied here before, I unfortunately did not have the chance to hear their feedback about their experiences. I believe it is important for us as an institution to encourage feedback from our students, so that we can better understand the challenges they faced and find ways to resolve them. This feedback could be collected by our coordinator or head of department. One of the challenges that some students faced was having to write exams for their home university courses while studying here. This is something that we hope to eliminate as it can prevent students from fully focusing on their courses here.”
