First Collaborations

Four months after the conflict erupted, we are hosting colleagues from the Uzhhorod organization Ekosféra in Brno and showing them the protected areas of Beskydy and Bílé Karpaty. In Uzhhorod, we symbolically plant Masaryk's linden tree near the TGM statue.

"The internship was extremely beneficial for me. The programme brings together strong organisations with innovative approaches, collaborative formats, and valuable experience. I am confident that Ukraine will also gain new opportunities for sustainable development and recovery."

"The internship offers the most valuable opportunity – to visit existing facilities and connect with people whose practical experience helps you understand important nuances in implementing such projects. It's also great to find like-minded people and plan activities together in Ukraine."

"It was a great idea to share the experience Czechs gained in the 1990s entering the EU with us Ukrainians and make our EU entry easier. Today we defend ourselves with weapons in hand, and you teach us to be Europeans."

Transfer of Successful Projects to Ukraine

We helped launch the Strom roku foundation competitions and Adapterra Awards in Ukraine. They engage communities in public life and strengthen people's interest and awareness of the environment.

International cooperation between companies and institutions

We connect Czech and Ukrainian partners across all sectors and types of institutions – from municipalities and businesses to universities and NGOs.

Grant Support for Local Projects

We help members of the Ukrainian leaders network secure funding for their projects. We supported the creation of an energy-independent farm, oak alleys reinforcing riverbanks, an educational eco-center, and a nature trail about ancient trees.

We invite Czech companies and partners to hold seminars in Ukraine on sustainability topics and present their business. This may include wind energy, biomass, or cogeneration units.
