Are you interested in discovering Easter traditions in Slovakia, learning how to turn an egg into an Easter masterpiece during a traditional wax egg-decorating workshop, and creating your own unique souvenir?
EURAXESS Slovakia/SAIA, n. o., invites you to join a craft workshop for international researchers (including PhD students) in Slovakia.
When: 31 March 2026
Where: Regional Cultural Centre in Žilina (Horný Val 41/20, 010 01 Žilina).
The workshop will be offered in two time slots:
- 14:00–15:15 pm
- 15:15–16:45 pm
You will work in small groups, guided by an experienced tutor, and have the opportunity to create two traditional Easter eggs.
The workshops are free of charge for PhD students, university teachers and international researchers. In addition, you can take the hand-made product you create on the workshop with you as your unique souvenir.
Difficulty: Don´t worry if you lack a craft, the workshops are suitable for beginners.
Important note: Due to the limited capacity of the workshops, registration is required. Please note that each participant may register for only one time slot (14:00 or 15:15).
Family members of researchers are also welcome (upon prior registration together with the researcher).
After registration, selected participants will receive a confirmation email with further instructions, while other applicants may be placed on a waiting list. The first-come, first-served principle will apply.
If you register for the workshop and are selected but are unable to attend (or if your family member cannot attend), please inform us as soon as possible – preferably at least 48 hours before the event – via email at lenka.buganova@saia.sk. This will allow us to offer your spot to other interested participants on the waiting list. If no notice is given, a 30 EUR fee may be charged to cover the tutoring costs incurred. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
