Helping in your local community

The number of volunteer opportunities in Brno and Jihomoravský region is immense. Surely you will find the right one for you! All you have to do is to contact a volunteer center DC 67 dc67.cz/en based on Bratislavska street nr. 26 in Brno (dc67.cz/en/about-us/contact). They have a database of organisations where it is possible to volunteer and will help you to find the one where you can be useful even though you don't speak Czech fluently. Actually, that is an opportunity to improve it!

There are many more ways to contribute to building Brno's wellbeing even though you don't have time or the right attitude for volunteering. Here are some tips:

Sometimes it is enough just to think twice while shopping. You can buy a coffee in a bar where works deaf people: www.moravskakavarnaneslysicich.cz/ or people with difficult backgrounds: www.cafeprah.cz/ or go for swaps, flea markets, support local farmers, etc.

Would you rather realize your own solidarity project?
Do you have an idea of what will be beneficial for your community?

No problem. We will give you advice on where to get financial support, how to apply and make steps leading to realization.

We have already mentioned European solidarity corps program which offers you to go abroad as a volunteer with financial support. But that's not all! Under this program there is also the possibility to initiate, prepare and realize your own local project in cooperation with other youngsters which would respond to key challenges in a local community and thus contributing to positive change and get the financial support for it. Same as Martina and her friends from a small village close to Přerov who noticed plenty of pensioners living there but not having a social life. They decided to change it! 

They applied for the Solidarity project which gave them financial and coaching support to organize cooking lessons of traditional dishes based on recipes from grandmas and grandpas who were teaching the young generation. In the end, they collected all the recipes and there was a village cooking book published.

For more examples of solidarity projects, basic rules and how to apply for funds please check the official website:

The solidarity project is initiated, prepared and implemented by a group of at least 5 young people (18 - 30 years) who show solidarity by responding to key challenges in the local community and thus contributing to positive change. It is a national initiative, but it reflects European values.

How was the first online Meet Brno Pub Quiz?

On Saturday, January 23, we organized the first online Meet Brno Pub Quiz, Covid edition. We used our experience from the last two online events and prepared a Kahoot quiz with some additional activities called a "Jošta game" The Kahoot quiz was divided into 11 categories such as Festivals in the world, Brno sculpture, Czech companies, Volunteering or for example Erasmus+. During the whole game, the Participants had to be aware of the world Jošta and be prepared for the next additional activity. We had also a nice interesting discussion after the game. :) And who were our participants? Foreign volunteers, workers, and students who are new to Brno. We arranged the meeting in the Zoom application. Thanks to everyone who participated. Did you miss the online Pub quiz? Never mind, we are planning to organize this type of event also offline in the pub when the pandemic situation will be better. We are looking forward to meeting you live this time! 🙂
