Who We Are
Psychočas is a nationwide student association bringing together active psychology students who want to develop their skills, connect with the community, and contribute to greater awareness of mental health.
We are active at several universities across the Czech Republic – in Brno, Prague, Olomouc, Ostrava, and České Budějovice. Through our local branches, we organize educational, social, and professional development events.
Our activities are based on teamwork, openness to new ideas, and the sharing of experiences among students across study years and cities. We create a space for both personal and professional growth, whether through courses, projects, our magazine Introspekt, or cooperation with experts from practice.
We represent Czech students in EFPSA (European Federation of Psychology Students' Associations), which allows our members to take part in international congresses, exchange programs, and online workshops. We also collaborate with many institutions and professionals in the fields of psychology, education, and mental health care.
Our team consists of an executive board, HR and PR managers, project coordinators, international relations representatives, the editorial board of our magazine, and local branch managers. Each of us contributes to running the association, communicating with the public, and building our community.
