Czech-German Cooperation on the concrete example of the Czech-German Youth Exchange Coordination Centre Tandem
ŠVÉDOVÁ, Hana
This bachelor thesis analyses the work of Tandem, a Czech-German Youth Exchange Coordination Centre. Tandem functions as a coordination centre of youth-political cooperation between both countries. The term the international youth work is explained in the theoretical part and operates as a hyperonym to youth-political cooperation. Although the treaties for youth exchanges programmes must be ratified on highest political level, it is the juvenile who is in the centre of attention. Therefore, the bachelor thesis goes into the problematic issues which could occur due to intercultural differences among the juveniles during the exchange programmes and it also highlights the advantages of participation on the youth exchange programmes. It includes a brief outline of the development of the youth-political cooperation between both neighbouring countries after 1989. The practical part inquires into the organization Tandem, its foundation and the inner organizational structure which ensures the successful coordination of the exchange programmes. Attention was also paid to the areas of cooperation and concrete projects that were realized by Tandem. Furthermore, the bachelor thesis looks into the financing of this organization. Finally, this bachelor thesis concludes with the prospects of this organisation for the future that were discussed directly with both chiefs of Coordination Centre Tandem.

International Professional Migration of Nurses and its Cultural Aspects, case study: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Babilonová, Zuzana ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Beroušek, Petr (referee)
The thesis is focused on the professional migration of Czech nurses to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In the beginning I characterize migration theories that together with other chapters about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, healthcare systems of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Czech Republic create basis for the research that is presented in chapter 5. Objectives of the research, which is the crucial part of the thesis, are to reveal motivations of the Czech nurses that lead to migration to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, their imaginations and expectations bounded with work and life in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Also I would like to find out if the expectations were met and if they want to work and live in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on a longterm basis. Based on the results of the research, I conclude that Czech nurses do not want to stay in such country on a longterm basis especially due to big cultural differences between Saudi Arabian and Czech culture. At the end of the thesis I briefly characterize intercultural training that could help Czech nurses with their adaptation to Saudi Arabian culture.
