Zvol si info: building an educational organisation

It used to be a punk-spirited association held together by a handful of student volunteers. Over the years I led it as chairwoman, heading a team of 25 people, we turned Zvol si info into a stable educational organisation operating across the Czech Republic, with reach abroad too.

Our trainers teach critical thinking through experiential education, connecting expert knowledge with the everyday reality of schools. Between them, they’ve trained tens of thousands of pupils. The organisation focuses on long-term impact, prioritising the regions where support is needed most.

What started as a student initiative grew into a professional team covering everything from social media behaviour to disinformation. The impact shows not only in strong feedback from the field, but also in professional recognition. The organisation has won awards including Gratis Tibi from People in Need and the Charlemagne Youth Prize from the European Parliament.
