Club Activities for Children and Youth
We support clubs that provide children and young people with a safe and inspiring space to connect, build relationships, develop values, and support their mental well-being. We place emphasis on long-term work by experienced mentors, a strong sense of community, and meaningful use of free time.
Since 2025, we have begun supporting this area directly through our foundation. In the four years prior, we provided support indirectly – in collaboration with a partner organization.
In our first independent grant call, 29 applicants applied. Ultimately, 23 of them received funding, totaling CZK 1,099,400.
We believe that high-quality club activities help young people grow – in relationships, responsibility, and self-confidence.
The Dmytro Čyževsky Program – Education and Support for Ukrainian Teachers
Through this program, we support education rooted in values, character development, and personal growth for Ukrainian teachers.
Why Dmytro Čyževsky?
On Christmas Eve in 1934, the Slavist and Ukrainian philosopher Dmytro Čyževsky discovered The General Consultation on the Improvement of Human Affairs (Consultatio) by John Amos Comenius in the archives of the Francke Orphanage in Halle, after a long period of focused and systematic research.
Thanks to his discovery, the manuscript came into the care of Comenius scholars and was first published in Latin in 1966 in Prague.
The first Czech translation reached readers in 1992. In 2019, České studny published a selected edition: “The Best of Comenius’s General Consultation on the Improvement of Human Affairs.”

Mentoring Program
Supporting new teachers and lecturers by working with a more experienced teacher, lecturer
Mentoring focuses on supporting lecturers in developing selected skills, in the presence of supervision, helping the lecturer with selected areas of development, e.g. rhetorical skills, working with the class. The mentoring course is offered in three versions.
- Training and accompanying the newcomer into lecturing practice.
This is one-to-one care at the beginning of working with a new tutor within a given organization. The aim is for the newcomer to practice safely and become independent in tutoring. - Expanding the lecturer’s scope.
This is group care for tutors who are either seeking to add a new lesson to their own portfolio or are already implementing a topic and need ‘regular maintenance’. The aim is for the group of tutors delivering the lesson to grow and maintain the quality of the outputs. - Accompanying a professional tutor.
This is the individual accompaniment of a lecturer who maintains long-term personal and professional growth. The goal is to have a plan for personal and professional development – theoretical and methodological knowledge and skills – every year.
- Training and accompanying the newcomer into lecturing practice.
Via Comenia has long supported the training of teachers, speakers, and the development of educational materials.

BMA Loan
Mediation of help to a private gymnasium for capacity expansion
BMA is a private four-year grammar school with extended language teaching and a Christian profile. Studying at the BESKYDY MOUNTAIN ACADEMY Gymnasium has become a goal for many primary school students, mainly due to its approach to education, which is based on three main values – family, creativity, and quality. All students matter, and their personal development is very important to the school. During their studies, pupils may take part in trips to the USA, UK or India, weekend trips organized by the school or various interesting projects. Over the last nine years, there has been an increasing number of pupils whom the school cannot accept for capacity reasons. So they decided to renovate and expand their physical facilities, which started in May 2021 and Via Comenia could be part of the increase in pupil capacity from 100 to 200 from the school year 2022/23.

…go on trips and meet interesting guests?

…be with a great group of kids and teachers?
