Impact areas
Czech children growing up abroad have limited opportunities to develop a deeper connection with the Czech language and culture. Supplementary curriculum prepares them for everyday communication and provides general overview of historical facts, but cannot sufficiently cover the depth and international significance of Czech cultural tradition. Rich extracurricular program is necessary to ensure children of all backgrounds receive a holistic education and experience their heritage hands on.
Music Without Borders will develop children's sense of cultural identity and belonging and promote intergenerational connection across wider community through hands-on experiences. It will bring music, songs, storytelling and creative activities to the classroom, helping children engage with Czech cultural traditions in an enjoyable and meaningful way. It will strengthen their language skills, develop creativity, confidence, cultural awareness and wellbeing.
