Tour examples:

Edge of the Prague

Students visit large district of blocks of flats at the south edge of the city with the sculptor and theoretician Pavel Kalous (project Aleins and herons, http://www.vetrelciavolavky.cz/en/about-project) and explore forgotten art in the public space done by the best Czechoslovakian artist during the so called „normalization“. Never acclaimed and today even forgotten sometimes funny but mostly valuable pieces of art in the middle of concrete jungle.

Prague industrial

Karlín and Libeň once were a beating heart of industrial Prague. The traces are still there but the new development wipes everything off. Let´s see it before it vanishes. With its chimneys, allotment gardens, makeshift houses (still standing and inhabited).

Villages in Prague

Steep serpentines in the local train, bushes and rocks, brownfields. This is how the „village“ tour begins. Students visit intact villages of a small scape with the skyscrapers on horizon, small nature reserves of few square metres, little graveyard and deep and calm forest valley. The end of the journey is as surprising as the beginning ? staged like walls of 80´s housing projects interrupts the fairytale.
