A Look Back at the Spiritual Heritage Programs
The Spiritual Heritage Lessons have been running in Czech schools since 2013. During this time, over 65,000 students from primary and secondary schools have had the opportunity to learn about the faith of significant figures in our history.
Nearly 70 programs, each lasting 1–4 class hours, have been created to introduce the spiritual roots of our culture. This year, we are concluding the phase of supporting instructors in delivering the lessons and are focusing more on developing and spreading new programs.
In spring 2025, within the framework of the All of Czechia Believes project(Vítejte | Veří celé Česko), a new program was launched – Methodius Cyrillic. During May and June alone, 906 students at 14 schools experienced it, and thanks to teachers from 23 primary schools, it is reaching even further. This program is the newest addition to the Spiritual Heritage series and brings inspiration, faith, and hope into schools in a playful and accessible way.

Public Fundraiser: Podcast – Workshop of Humanity
Workshop of Humanity – because humanity transforms.
On the DarujSprávně platform, we have launched a public fundraiser Podcast-Dílna lidskosti | Darujspravne.cz to support the production of new episodes of the Workshop of Humanity podcast. This podcast was created out of the need to support parents and teachers in their challenging mission of educating and guiding the younger generation.
We strive to make each episode inspiring and provide practical guidance to better understand young people and gently guide them. We do not claim that it is easy or that instant solutions exist. However, we believe that if we search honestly and with genuine interest, we will find the key to the lock.
To continue creating new episodes and reach as many people as possible, we need your help. Your financial support will enable us to further develop this project and deliver meaningful, quality content.

Support for Ukrainian Teachers
It’s hard to fully grasp the weight Ukrainian teachers carry due to the war.
“Next weekend will be my last one with my husband. Then he’s leaving for the front,” shared Kataryna.
“We lost our PE teacher in the war. It’s such a huge loss — he had such a powerful impact, especially on the boys at our school.”
Tatiana, the lead coordinator of activities in Ukraine, shared:
“Our school, together with local parents, organized a special event for over 100 children from our city who have lost their fathers in the war. Our school is Christian and its name is Hope. Through this gathering and small gifts, we wanted to show these children and families that hope still exists. That even if they’ve lost their earthly fathers, God remains their Father — especially in this difficult season of life.”
In 2024, we were able to support three weekend events with the participation of 114 Ukrainian teachers and school leaders — both young and experienced.
Since the launch of this fund in 2022, a total of 291 Ukrainian teachers have been supported through ten educational events, helping them become teachers of hope — educators preparing a new generation of Ukrainians with strong character and vision for the future.
At a weekend in January 2025, the Ukrainian trainer team decided to translate and implement the Czech one-day program “Breath”. With its 8-hour format, it can be delivered by two trainers in towns much closer to the eastern front.
The program aims to restore teachers in their vocation and renew their motivation — not only to inspire students in their subject but to help shape their character, so students can grow into the best version of themselves.Will you help us continue supporting Ukrainian teachers?

Podcast Pilot Results
“Workshop of Humanity”: What the First Feedback Brought:
From December 2024 to early March 2025, a pilot of four episodes of the video podcast “Workshop of Humanity” took place. This project aims to support parents, teachers, and the entire younger generation on their journey toward a better life. The goal was to offer simple and practical advice that can be applied in everyday life. Based on feedback from 55 reviewers, we have gathered valuable insights that will help us further improve the podcast’s content.
What Do Reviewers Prefer?
Experts First: Most respondents (75%) stated that they would prefer contributions from professionals in psychology, psychotherapy, and education. This highlights a strong interest in qualified and practical advice that the podcast could provide.
Podcast Length: 75% of reviewers were satisfied with the length of individual episodes, which lasted about 20 minutes. This confirms that shorter, concise formats are ideal for our audience.
Willingness to Share: 65% of reviewers said they would willingly share the podcast with their friends, which is a great sign of its potential popularity. Another 25% responded “rather yes,” indicating a positive attitude toward the content.
Interest in Continuation: 40 respondents expressed interest in the podcast continuing and left their email addresses in case the project proceeds. This feedback is very motivating for us.
Suggestions for Improvement
Audio Version / Video Version: Some respondents suggested creating an audio-only version of the podcast, which could reach a broader audience accustomed to traditional podcast listening without video. We will definitely consider this proposal for future episodes.
Conclusion
The first feedback on the “Workshop of Humanity” project is very positive. Thanks to your opinions, we will be able to tailor the content to better meet the needs of our listeners. If you are interested in future episodes, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel. We sincerely thank you for your support and look forward to continuing this journey together!

Our school stories
A Precious Gift
I came to a small school near Pilsen with the program “My Way to the World” for third graders. I prayed for a smooth course, but what happened was what every teacher fears – nothing worked. An old computer. Slow. It took forever to boot up, then update, wouldn’t load my flash drive, and when it finally did, it turned out the sound wasn’t working. They didn’t have a dongle… I was furious inside, preparing a speech about, ” Teacher, the contract your management signed stated that everything necessary would be ready for the program and that if it is not we have the right to withdraw from the contract and the program will not be held.”
The
teacher was retired. She was an old lady who was called in because the regular teacher was suffering from a long illness. She was grey-haired, short and terribly unhappy, always apologizing. It broke me. I told her it was okay, that we could manage without the computer, and determinedly called the kids together on the carpet for circle time. I asked the teacher for a large quarter[1] , which we put in the middle and started. And it was AMAZING! We drew a human egg, racing seeds, an umbilical cord, a mommy growing a belly, and when I pulled the models of babies in the womb out of my bag, the kids were completely amazed, focused, had lots of questions, and the two hours flew by.
egg, racing seeds, an umbilical cord, a mommy growing a belly, and when I pulled the models of babies in the womb out of my bag, the kids were completely amazed, focused, had lots of questions, and the two hours flew by. teacher had tears in her eyes as she said goodbye. She said, “You reminded me of my mother. She always used to talk to us children by the stove. We were many children, we were poor, but we were together a lot and we talked all the time. It was a beautiful, real life. And you, when you told the children today, you brought that real LIFE here. Thank you for that.” And she hugged me goodbye.
Truth
Dear sir, I have seen the video of your lectures for young people regarding SEX, AIDS,etc… and I like it very much. Finally someone is imparting real values, beauty, love, goodness and truth to children.
There is nothing you can’t buy these days. Millions are made by lies, ugliness, nudity and evil. You are telling young people the truth, and that is priceless. That is why I would like to support you financially in your work. I desire for you and our society to reap the good fruits of your work. As one philosopher said: “As life is lived in schools and universities today, so will it be lived in the streets in the future.”
Milestone
“I’ve watched your video “What to do if I’m bullied” several times and so far I’ve never wondered about anything, about any of the scenes. When all of a sudden, out of the blue, there was one part that struck me. “I mean, sometimes – not always – the victim is the victim because they’re driving their surroundings crazy.” And that’s when I ask myself the question: “What if it’s been this way for me all along?” And that’s when it dawned on me. It dawned on me that they’re not the “bad guys” in this scenario… Because if it weren’t for your video, I’d still be living under the illusion that others are mean to me, and I’d blame their behavior on them. Plus, as I wrote in the stream, I changed because of it, and that was a big milestone. This, along with everything you do for other people, has made you one of my role models as well. So I owe you my gratitude.”
