Faculty Kindergarten Na Výšinách
In the bustling center of Prague, we created an oasis of tranquility for 200 children in 2016. The design of the school garden reflects their ideas and also meets the requirements of teachers and parents. The playful space full of inspiration has been enjoyed now by the entire local community for several years.
If you want to support this project, you can do so as a volunteer.

What we achieved
We gave the garden a new spirit and appearance so that it could better fulfill all its functions. We undulated the flat surface and created a slope. In the garden space we placed: a wooden amphitheater with a fireplace, a creative kitchen, and a sandbox. Through the collaboration of architects and a German artist, a think tank brimming with creativity was created. As a result, the garden gained new, original play elements in several assemblies, among which the wooden tower in the clouds stands out. There is also a separate space for sports and education, cleverly separated from the busy surroundings.

More about the transformation
Our grant was awarded to a total of 10 schools in 2013. All received financial contributions for the development of an architectural design. In the second round, we selected five schools that received financial support for the garden renovation. This transformation triggered a huge wave of support from the local community, which made it possible to raise additional funds necessary to complete the project. The Prague 7 district and many other donors and sponsors got involved. In the same year, we also provided funds for the transformation of school gardens at MŠ Vodnická, Faculty Kindergarten with Special Care Arabská, MŠ Koloděje, and MŠ U Uranie.
