Film is our god and the screen our Holy Script. The director is the high priestess, and wine is our water. The actors are the chanting choir and we, the audience, the sacred cinematic laity that binds it all together.

The purpose of the AAU Golf Club is to provide an opportunity for AAU students to learn and practice their golf skills while bonding with other students. There is an agreement with the Prague City Golf Club at Rohansky Ostrov near Libensky Most where we agreed on a fee so that AAU students get to play for free and rent golf clubs for only 50czk if they do not have their own. We met once a week last semester since the club started, sometimes twice towards the end of the semester. Students would show up with their clubs or rent clubs and then practice hitting balls on the driving range, short game, and putting range. The students with more experience helped teach the students who were new to golf, therefore creating bonding moments with students.

As the book club of AAU, we want to create a supportive community of people that enjoy reading and want to share and discuss their perspectives of the literary texts that we select. Through these discussions with one another, we want to be able to help people grow intellectually and also culturally, by reading many different kinds of literary texts from all over the world. Additionally, the book club would a wonderful way for new students at AAU to be able to get to know each other and engage in interesting conversations with one another.

The club will meet once a month in different establishments (eg. cafes, libraries, etc.) to discuss the books in a civilized and respectful manner with one another. Everyone who wants to participate is welcome to join! If for some reason a meeting is unable to be held in person, meetings will be held online, unless the circumstances are too dire for a meeting to take place, however all updates will be given in the WhatsApp group chat. Meeting times will be scheduled in respect to the members’ schedules, however this will of course not always be possible, so compromises will have to be made. The books will be chosen through a poll, and will be chosen from different genres, cultures, countries, authors, etc., in order to be inclusive and have a diverse range of topics to discuss. Additionally, members are also always able to make book suggestions that will be taken into account.

Depending on the size of the group, there may be hardcopies given out. Otherwise, the club will always provide a PDF version of the books that are being read, and club members are also more than welcome to invest in a book themselves. We want this to be a supportive and enjoyable environment for everyone, thus have a strict policy on respectfulness, especially during discussions.
