British Czech and Slovak Association
The British Czech and Slovak Association (BCSA) raises public awareness in Britain of Czech and Slovak life in all its aspects: history, arts, literature, economies, politics and sciences. We do this through talks, a magazine, social events and newsletters.

BCSA membershipPeople of all ages join the BCSA for a number of different reasons. Some are British students studying Slavonic affairs, some are former residents of Czechoslovakia who now live in the UK, some are British people who have developed an interest in the republics, some are citizens of the Czech and Slovak republics who are currently working or studying in the UK, and others have different reasons for joining.
Whatever the reason is for your interest in the Czech and Slovak republics you will be welcome as a member of the BCSA. membership details>>
