Association for Building-Historical Research

Building-historical research strives for the recognition and interpretation of historical buildings as tangible sources of history and works of technical and artistic skill. The outputs of such research activities find other uses in basic research in historical disciplines, as well as in conservation, pre-design and design practices concerning the restoration of heritage sites, and the regeneration of historic urban structures.

Creative Brno

We are a team from the Department of Strategic Development and Cooperation of the Brno City Hall. We strive to make Brno an environment where creativity flourishes. We want to support creativity in various ways, so that creators are not limited in their efforts by obstacles and that they develop not only themselves, but also Brno and the surrounding region.

National Institute of Folk Culture

The National Institute of Folk Culture (NIFC) is a state contributory organisation managed by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and focused on the research, preservation, and dissemination of traditional and folk culture. The institute carries out basic and applied research, publishes results, organises folklore and educational events, and provides an advice service. NIFC has contributed to government documents relating to the maintenance of folk culture and serves as the central coordinator for their implementation. The Association actively engages in international activities in accordance with UNESCO’s 1989 resolution and is the headquarters of the Czech national section of CIOFF, which ensures contact with 90 national sections. Based in Strážnice, the Institute maintains 45 hectares of green space and 99 buildings. Seven of these are protected heritage sites, including the chateau, the chateau park, the Black Gate, and the Open‑Air Museum of the Village of South‑East Moravia. NIFC is a key institution for the preservation and support of traditional folk culture in the Czech Republic.

uMĚNÍM - Platform for Creative Learning

Platform for Creative Learning is an umbrella platform of over 40 organisations working together to make creative approaches an integral part of education. We create a space for discussion and mutual learning between organisations. We look for ways to transform education and advocate for them together at a system level. We organise FUK: Festival of Art and Creativity in Education and manage MAPA uMĚNÍM, the database of creative education projects from across the country.
