Nestrácajme čas! / No time to Lose!

Meeting with Oto Hudec (in conversation with Petra Houskova)—a multimedia artist (SK) who uses art to show the impact of ecological threats and brings them closer to audiences in galleries. He connects painting with video, music, objects, photography to describes or responds to migration and climate crisis. One of his works—Nomadia Traveling Museum—is part of the collection of the prestigious Center Georges Pompidou in Paris. Oto Hudec is also one of the founders of the environmental initiative "Nestrácajme čas! / No time to Lose!" http://arttransparent.org/event/culture-for-climate/

Training of Coaches

A four-day training of coaches will be delivered by V4 experts to selected community members on business planning for community-based, sustainable tourism and agriculture. The participants will be selected based on their interest to support communities and their previous knowledge. Previous experience has shown that providing individual coaching by trusted community members is more effective than capacity-building by standard trainings. The four-day training of coaches for business planning will include practical exercises in developing an example business idea, including financial planning, marketing strategy, competition analysis, staffing and training requirements, linkage to community development and operating plans. One day of the training will be focused specifically on financial resource mobilization. A local expert will support the V4 expert with preparatory work. As a result of the workshops, the participants will be able to provide individual coaching for community members approaching TOKA for support. https://avoicefortropoja.org/training-of-local-coaches-on-business-planning-takes-place-online/
