Dear parents, colleagues, friends, and supporters of Duhovka,

at the beginning, there was a beautiful project and a breathtaking amount of money that we needed to make it happen. However, there was also an amazing community of people with a common interest: to give children the best environment for learning and development in every possible field and skill. Thanks to all of you, we now know that we can implement the project in its entirety and in the timeframe that we set out at the beginning - giving the children a new gym, an art studio and a science lab on its roof.

In the past 12 months we have achieved something extraordinary together - a fundraising project of this size in a private educational environment is unprecedented in the Czech Republic. Over the course of nine fundraising events, everyone has been involved - from children and teachers to individual parents, the Parent Association and friends of Duhovka to the amazing and unique capacities of public and artistic life. Thanks to this, our fundraising project won the main prize of the Czech Marketing Society in the Marketer of the Year 2022 competition - the so-called Big Blue Dolphin.

We are at the end of the fundraising, but not at the end of the Gym & Art Studio 2023 project. We will now be able to watch the completion and look forward to the grand opening at the beginning of the second term of the school year 2023/24. But even this will not be the end, it will be a new beginning and a whole new dimension of PE lessons, sports and movement clubs, a richer after-school center program and a new field for creativity and exploration in science and art.

THANK YOU ALL for taking the plunge with us. Together we made it happen!


APRIL 2023

THE GYM IS GROWING!

Dear parents and friends of Duhovka,
Thanks to your kind donations that we have received so far, we are able to build the entire rough construction of the gym and the new space for the art studio and the laboratory. You can see how the foundation slab of the gym was built in February in the video below. In March, the perimeter walls were built, and the retaining wall of the arch was concreted. At the beginning of April, the gym received its roof, which is also the foundation for the art studio, laboratory, and adjacent terraces.

On the new floor for the Middle School, the roof is being completed, windows are being fitted, partitions are being built and the HVAC and electrical wiring are being prepared. Since the end of March and the beginning of April, the preparation of the wiring in the social facilities, the bricking of partitions, the gridding of the ceilings for the Heradesign panels and the installation of the facade has begun.

To our great joy, the construction is progressing successfully and on schedule. We would like to open the classrooms on the new floor in September 2023 and the gym with the art studio and laboratory - if all the funding can be secured - in late December 2023 and January 2024.

We sincerely thank all our supporters and donors.

Let's create a new heart of the school for children together. 

A place that will be alive with sport and socialising. A place of fantasy and artistic creation. A place of focused scientific exploration and discovery. A place of experiences, emotions, work and rest, full of light. A pleasant atmosphere for all.

Do it with us!

Duhovka is growing. We have just now started to add a new floor to give especially the children from the Middle School the space they deserve. And not only that. We also want to build a gym which our school has been sorely lacking for a long time and with it a new multi-purpose space for art and science activities. The superstructure of the new floor is financially secured but for building the gym and the studio, Duhovka’s finances are not sufficient. Let's make it together.  The Whole Story
