In a remarkable display of community collaboration and environmental stewardship, Rotaract Hradec Kralove and Rotary Hradec Kralove joined forces on June 24, 2023, to clean and revitalize Stříbrňák Pond, a cherished water body located in Hradec Králové. With the shared vision of creating a cleaner future and making the area nicer, the volunteers dedicated themselves to the task at hand. Armed with tools and unwavering determination, we tirelessly cleared the pond area of debris, waste, pinecones and unwanted weed, restoring its pristine charm. The presence of Youth Exchange students added an extra layer of significance, as it highlighted the project's universal value of environmental preservation and cultural exchange.
Every year in Hradec Kralove a festival called "Open Skies for Handicapped" takes place. The festival brings an important message of inclusion and equality and opens people's eyes to better understand and appreciate diversity. Rotaract had the opportunity to participate in this amazing event this year in partnership with Guncentrum. The Open Skies for Handicapped Festival began in 2010 as a small event organized by a group of volunteers and organizations dedicated to supporting people with disabilities. Since then, it has become an annual tradition that has enjoyed growing interest and support from the local community and visitors from around the region. The Open Skies for the Handicapped Festival offers a diverse programme including: Artistic performances, workshops and educational lectures, various recreational activities, exhibits, technology demonstrations and more. Rotaract in cooperation with Guncentre provided shooting activities for the festival this year, where festival participants could try shooting airsoft guns, wind guns and there was also a small demonstration of sport archery. The main message of the festival "Open Skies for Handicapped" is to show that people with disabilities have their own talents, skills and beautiful view of the world. The inclusive and open environment of the festival reinforces the importance of cooperation and mutual respect between all people regardless of their abilities or limitations.
