What Makes Us Different
Not a Traditional Integration Center
We don't just serve for mutual contact between foreigners, but for mutual connection of Czechs and Ukrainians through concrete activities.
Intergenerational Approach
Our events connect different age groups — we purposefully involve families, seniors, young people, professional and amateur artists.
Community-Led
We are open, volunteer-based, and community-driven — we don't stand on an institution, but on local people.
Active Participation
Artists, teachers, singers, students — people who otherwise remain isolated find with us space for active participation and sharing.
Prevention Through Culture
We are part of a broader European debate about how culture can help mental health — we reference the concept of "Prevention Through Culture," which is based on verified examples from abroad.
And This Is Just the Beginning!
In 2026, we plan to expand our activities and organize even more events that will connect the Czech and Ukrainian communities. Check out our Calendar 2026.
