This Master thesis examines the impact of the individual driving forces of young highly educated talents from Italy and Lithuania to apply for a job abroad after the graduation. By investigating the motivations and influences during this decision-making process, we clarify the role of different impulses on the individual’s decision to become part of the phenomenon known as the global talent flow. Within this study, we obtain the actor’s view, while we use an inductive approach to put the construction of meaning of the participants in the center of our study. This aim of our qualitative study is further strengthened by the use of semi-structured interviews and the usage of the phenomenology approach. The data is analyzed and interpreted according to the emerged themes and linked back to the existing theory on‘migration’, the ‘Push-Pull-Mooring’ paradigm, the ‘gravity’ model, and the knowledge flow according to ‘brain gain’, 'brain drain’, and ‘brain circulation’. This study highlights the variety of facets which are of importance to the individuals within the decision-making process of the non-rational phenomenon of the global talent flow. Although the main motivation - the opportunity to grow - is shared among all participants, a clear distinction can be made between the ‘professional’ and the ‘personal’ growth. Furthermore, our study reveals the direct influence of initiatives taken by the European Union (EU), such as the ERASMUS+ Programme on the mobility of young talents and the impact of possible unforeseen side effects such as the ‘brain drain’ in some of the member countries of the EU. Our findings contribute another layer to the understanding of the driving forces of tomorrow’s mobile workforce to apply for a job abroad. This comprehension is fundamental to policymakers, companies, the society at larger, and the young talents themselves, as it becomes crucial to attract this ‘brain’ to secure long-term development of all stakeholders of the global talent flow within the EU.

The objective of this thesis is to investigate if youth mobility programmes, such as Youth Exchanges, are compatible with Europe 2020 strategy and if they fulfil its aims. Youth Exchanges were previously classified under Youth in Action Programme, but since 2013 they are classified under Erasmus+ Programme. Theoretical part describes European strategies and these programmes while the practical part offers the analysis of financial and statistical data and results of a survey gathered between organizations running Youth Exchanges.

The main aim of this thesis is to provide opinions from students and companies about student mobilities and their possible impact on employment and compare if they match. The diploma thesis is also trying to find out if experience with studying abroad influence employability and how. The thesis compounds of theoretical and practical part. First part research the background and development of student mobilities, especially the Erasmus scheme in European Union and provide information about other mobility programmes and the reasons for and against studying abroad. Second part focus on qualitative research among selected companies and quantitative research among students about student mobilities and their impact on employment. The results of the thesis provide information about relationship between studying abroad and future career prospects and can serve as an overview for students who are deciding whether to go study abroad or not as well for employers to have better awareness about their possible candidates´ expectations. The own research found that Czech students gain during the stay abroad valuable experience which can enhance their career prospects, however, there are some differences according to country where student went abroad to.

The thesis focuses in a great detail on relation between scenographer and foreign students. The theoretical part offers an insight to various possibilities for foreign language adepts, especially those supported by KALD programe. Through the conducted questionnaires, this paper examines areas of cooperation between foreign Master’s students, Erasmus + students and Department of Alternative and Puppet Theatre. Practical part presents personal experiences acquired through cooperation on various performances including Three Cigarettes, Persona atlas, and Islands a Včela. Those examples demonstrate in detail, cooperation of foreign speaking students, benefits and challenges possibly enriching the theater artist. The thesis includes visual documentation though photography captured during the performances.

Ce travail porte sur l'interaction entre la citation et l'érudition dans l'oeuvre de Rabelais à partir d'une approche construite sur l'idée que l'écriture rabelaisienne repose sur un jeu constant avec l'érudition qu'elle mobilise. Dans la première partie, deux sources relevant du genre des miscellanées, utilisées par Rabelais comme des réservoirs à citations, sont analysées de manière systématique : les traités juridiques de son ami fontenaisien André Tiraqueau et les Adages d'Érasme. Après cette analyse génétique, nous nous penchons en deux temps sur la manière dont l'érudition sert et se trouve incarnée par la représentation fictionnelle. D'un côté, l'espace de la bibliothèque est un des lieux majeurs de l'espace fictif ; de l'autre, les personnages forment une communauté d'érudits aux idiomes distincts. Est analysée dans un dernier temps, la question du genre des « romans » rabelaisiens et en particulier des Tiers et Quart Livres. La dette générique envers le genre des miscellanées, du commentaire philologique, est mise en avant. Rabelais a écrit ses Lectiones antiquae sous la forme d'une narration comique. L'erudito ludere fondateur de son écriture a été reçu comme tel, ce que peut démontrer in fine un retour sur l'histoire de la réception de Rabelais du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle / This study focuses on the interaction between quotation and erudition in Rabelais's work. For this purpose, we follow the idea that rabelaisian writing is built on a constant play with the erudition it mobilizes. In the first part, two sources coming within the genre of miscellanies, used by Rabelais as collections of quotations, are analysed : the legal treatises of his close friend, André Tiraqueau, and the erasmian Adagia. After this genetic part, the study explores the ways erudition improves and is represented in the fiction. Firstly, the library is shown as a major place in the fictional world. Secondly, the characters are forming a community of scholars with distinct idioms. Finally, the question of the gender of rabelaisian « novels » is asked, and particularly for the Third and Fourth Books of Pantagruel. Rabelais seems to be inspired by the aesthetics of the miscellanies and of philological commentaries. He wrote his Lectiones antiquae under the form of a comic narration. The erudito ludere, principle of his writing, has been recognized by his readers as a historical study of Rabelais's reception from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century can finally show
