5 very Czech ways to spend a weekend

Czech people may seem lazy on their workplaces, but they are not. They are just recovering from their weekends. They need about a week for that: five days, to be precise. In Czech Republic, plans about the weekends are usually made 6 to 8 months in advance. Ask any Czech: “Jaký máte plán na víkend?” […]

The Danger of a single story – Global Education is hard work

“The Danger of a Single Story“ is the title of a very popular TED talk by Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie, from 2009. But not only.

Game of Wellness: a training course on wellness in non formal education

Because in “Share the Right Story” – training course co-funded by the European programme Erasmus+ – […]

Special Effects

This is not an easy story to tell. It will also be the longest post I have written so far, so brace yourselves, a lot is coming your way. You can also read it in more takes, so relax. “Special Effects” is the title of a training course concept that we have developed back in […]
