In Stodůlky, Prague 13, a 76-year-old man hung up on his balcony several posters with naked women and men. He told the officers that he had glued them because he literally “can put whatever he wants on his balcony”. When the police officers warned him that the posters were clearly visible from the street and aroused public outrage among neighbors, he responded that “until he doesn’t see an official document with a stamp stating that that’s not allowed, he would not take them off.”
Moving abroad is a major life change. In order to be sure that everything goes as it should, it is better to think through everything in advance and make a list of the actions that you have to take before moving. To make this difficult process as easy as possible for you, we have written it down for you! Below you will find a list of tips for moving to the Czech Republic but you can apply the basic points even if you are moving to a different destination in Europe or anywhere else in the world. What you should consider before you move to the Czech Republic: Throw away what you don’t need Moving is an ideal opportunity to cull your wardrobe and get rid of unnecessary things that only take up space.

You can support the health of people in need and your favorite café at the same time with a small gesture! If you’ve ever thought about supporting homeless people, now is the time. “People experiencing homelessness are an especially vulnerable group in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sleeping rough or staying in temporary or emergency accommodation puts them at a high risk of transmission and compromises their access to hygiene and isolation spaces,” explains Ester Paclt, founder of Místní místním (Locals for Locals) an NGO that strives to connect small businesses, professional providers of social services and the public in offering direct help towards people in need. “Right now during the crisis of COVID-19, we started cooking quality meals for shelters for homeless people in Prague. Your contribution will also support Prague cafés and bistros that have decided to cook for them. That will help those local businesses to get through the following weeks, as many of them have no income in this situation. Kavárna Pražírna, Bistro Střecha, Potrvá, and Family Coffee & bistro already joined our project,” adds Ester The initiative is called Jídlo pro lidi bez domova (Food for the Homeless), and you can support it at this link. “We have four shelters in...

For the first time in its 75-year history, the Prague Spring International Music Festival finds itself in a situation where it will be unable to present its concert program as planned. “It is difficult to foresee which restrictive measures will still be in place at the time this year’s Prague Spring is due to start and, for understandable reasons, we cannot expect a mandatory standpoint from the relevant bodies of the state administration. The Prague Spring has therefore decided to seek an alternative so that music may continue to bring hope to its listeners during this troubling situation,” says festival director Roman Bělor. The festival is putting together approximately ten concerts for live broadcast, available free of charge via the Prague Spring website. Selected concerts will also be included in the schedules of Czech Television, the festival’s General Media Partner, and of Czech Radio, which has accompanied the festival since it was founded in 1946. Smetana’s My Country, a pivotal work of the festival, cannot be performed live on the 12th of May; however, the Prague Spring is in discussions with Czech Television regarding the proposal to include in the broadcast a recording of one of the exceptional performances from previous years. The program for the Closing Concert was...
The construction industry has traditionally been conservative when it comes to adopting advanced technologies. Innovation may come from the architect, but the builders tend to keep more or less the same process, adapting only to the project at hand. However, by adopting additive manufacturing, the construction industry can have advantages like better creativity, design flexibility, less material waste, lower carbon footprint, and more robust structures. It’s a fast-growing industry with experts estimating the value of 3D printing construction to reach $56.4 million by 2021. This is a huge market! 3D printing construction is a fast-growing industry has seen some fascinating projects like in New York, where S-Squared 3D Printers is able to build a house in 12 hours.
