70 km. On foot. In one go. In addition, for a good cause.  
As most of you know I like hiking. Every year I add to my "list" one long hike. Last year, it was 100 km...and what about this year? I didnt want to increase number of kilometers so the choice was simple: more difficult terrain! And why not to walk from one Czech mountain range to another one:-)? 
 
I will start on Friday 8th June in the evening on Smrk Mountain and will go on until I can see the post office in Sněžka mountain.

A few friends will join me again because the more the merrier to hike in a group . 

I want to try it out even though I have hiked incredibly little so far this year. I know that the terrain of these mountains "wont be piece of cake" - I simply enjoy hiking, being outdoors, enjoying night sounds of nature and also to test my boundaries a bit.

I would like to connect my personal challenge with my favorite non-profit organization in Olomouc, the Czech Republic. ARPOK has been very close to my heart, I worked there during my studies and it was my first grown up job. I trust them and I know that the work they do in the field of global education with teachers, students and also public is of huge value.
 
Your contribution will go to organizing public events about current social challenges and development cooperation. All of these activities support building open and respectful society. 


Let´s go for it!

Thanks.

Petra

We bring current global issues to schools (i.e. migration, poverty, climate change, etc.). Our aim is to create an active, respectful and open society in which people understand complexity and interconection of today s world. We organize seminars for teachers, educational programs for pupils and public debates.
Since 2004 we have been bringing current global issues to schools (i. e. migration, poverty, climate changes, etc.). Our aim is to create an active, respectful and open society in which people understand complexity and interconnection of today´s world. It´s a run for a long trail. Nevertheless, we are convinced it´s worth it. We want to live in society where we feel good, where people are respectful and do not hesitate to help each other.

We want to reach that via education. We organize seminars for teachers about new trends in teaching sensitive topics. We teach them to communicate these topics with children and we help them to find relevant and objective information. We discuss global sensitive issues with pupils during our educational programs and thematic days. We also bring current global issues to wide public. We regurarly run public debates with well-known journalists and people who experienced humanitarian missions in abroad. We emphasize critical thinking and open-minded approach



Up to now we have organized over 1200 educational programs for more than 27 000 pupils and trained 2300 teachers during 100 seminars. For the public we have run more then 120 debates about current global issues with 6000 visitors.

Help us to reach our aims, it´s worth it!

Thank you!
