About us

Hnízdo is an association of active inhabitants of the region, which carries out several activities, especially in the field of formal, non-formal and informal education.

The association itself works with children, youth, families (clubs, courses, camps, balls) and is also dedicated to organize educational events - we invite to Tišnov interesting personalities of contemporary pedagogy, we organize discussions and seminars on education and training, human rights , protection of the environment. We organize other European projects (Erasmus+ Youth Exchanges, Trainings)

We run Montessori elementary school ZaHRada, Montessori Forest Kindergarten Ledňáček, Free Democratic school CoLibri and cooperate with Forest club Kalužníček.

Our association holds the Quality label of the European Solidarity Corps, Hnízdo is a coordinating and hosting organization. Annually, it hosts several international volunteers in all its schools in the Tišnov Region (ZŠ ZaHRada and Jasan, ZŠ CoLibri, MLMŠ Ledňáček) and in the association itself. Volunteers are richly involved in teaching, in leisure activities, in the preparation of the school environment and in assisting other European projects, in the community life of the association and the city, but also in self-development activities (various seminars, workshops, teaching Czech, English, getting to know Tišnovsk, the Czech Republic, Europe). Foreign volunteers come to us and to other organizations throughout Europe and are educated thanks to EU support through the European Solidarity Corps (formerly EVS).

We are continuously looking for new ESC volunteers. Please follow Volunteers' news on the web and our social media pages for the latest updates.
