FIND A LECTURER AS A PORTAL
The Find a Lecturer project is primarily a portal www.najdilektora.cz and najdilektora.sk, containing a database of lecturers in the Czech and Slovak Republics who visit primary and secondary schools to deliver ethical and preventive programs.
These programs are usually backed by lecturing organizations with rich histories and certified programs.
The project is unique because it is a network of several lecturing organizations that together cover various locations across the country. Lecturers often speak about topics they have personally dealt with in their lives, thus sharing personal experience with children, not just theory.
The goal of these programs is to impart good life values to young people that they can begin to build on. The most common topics of preventive programs at schools include: Relationships, Cyberbullying, Bullying, Addictions, Sex, AIDS, Holocaust
FIND A LECTURER AS A DONOR FUND
FIND A LECTURER is also a donor fund through which we support lecturing activities in the F-Foundation. The donor fund runs selection procedures through which lecturers are chosen to receive support for their lecturing work in the given school year.
The goal of FIND A LECTURER is to pass on good life values to young people that they can start building on. Another goal is to give students space to openly talk about important topics and grow personally.
The foundation started supporting lecturing activities in 2003. In 2012, it supported 12 lecturers. Currently (school year 2024/25), 96 Czech and 4 Slovak lecturers are supported.
The FIND A LECTURER fund supports the work of specific lecturers in specific lecturing organizations.
Lecturers are people who either work full-time as lecturers or do it alongside their other jobs. They have pedagogical, social, or other necessary qualifications. They are supported by a lecturing organization that provides methodological guidance and offers intervision and supervision care. Lecturers also continue their education to improve their expertise.
Lecturers provide interactive programs, meaning it is not a lecture but a joint activity involving the whole class. The participation of the class teacher is also welcome.
People who work as lecturers in schools have often personally gone through the topics they talk about (such as drug addiction or internet addiction). Therefore, they do not speak only on a theoretical level. They have experienced the consequences of risky behavior themselves and can share both experiences and personal emotions.
Programs are delivered by lecturers who are often affiliated with lecturing organizations. As a foundation, we cooperate with more than 10 lecturing organizations in the Czech Republic, the main ones being:
Lecturers are the heart of our program and the key to successfully passing knowledge to students at schools. Their work requires not only expertise but also teaching skills, patience, and the ability to inspire young people.
Supporting lecturers means investing in the quality of education – it allows us to provide lecturers with ongoing training and ensure they have the best materials and tools for teaching.
When you support our lecturers, you directly support thousands of students who, thanks to their work, gain valuable skills and knowledge for their future. Every crown invested in our lecturers returns in the form of higher-quality education and a positive impact on entire generations of young people.
F-foundation began supporting the lecturer activity project in 2003. Over time, the number of lecturers has been increasing.
In the 2023/2024 school year, 96 lecturers in the Czech Republic reached 128,444 students, with whom they spent 16,444 hours. Overview of ethical and prevention programs for the 2023/2024 school year:
In the 2023/2024 school year, 4 lecturers in the Slovak Republic reached 899 students, with whom they spent 192 hours.
Lecturers are partially financed for their work by the schools themselves, which are obligated to provide a certain number of hours of primary prevention based on § 7 paragraph 3 of Decree 197/2016. More about school obligations here http://www.nuv.cz/t/pprch.
However, the contribution from the school does not cover all costs related to the preparation and implementation of the program.
For this reason, F-foundation provides lecturers with the opportunity to receive support of 130 CZK for each hour of implemented prevention program.
Lecturers apply annually in a selection process for support of lecturing activities for the following school year. In their plan for the school year, they request support for the number of hours they want to implement.
Every elementary school has the obligation to develop a minimal prevention program, which can be implemented both with their own resources and with the help of external lecturers. These lecturers come into classrooms and have the advantage of not being bound by local relationships and potential historical problems. They can bring a fresh perspective on classroom issues, etc.
Decree No. 197/2016 Sb., which amends Decree No. 72/2005 Sb., on the provision of counseling services in schools and school counseling facilities, as amended by later regulations, and some other decrees effective from September 1, 2016, brings among other things, based on provision § 7 paragraph 3, the school’s obligation to develop and implement the school’s prevention program including a strategy for preventing school failure, bullying, and other manifestations of risky behavior.
Generation Z is a generation that was born after the rise of mass technology use, this generation practically grew up with a mobile phone in hand. Their entire lives they have used communication and media technologies – such as the internet, instant messaging – internet access is not limited only to home connection, but they have it everywhere with them. They are known for living online and at a fast pace, instant sharing of thoughts and insights on various topics, using media and products.
We often mistakenly think that their lives are simple, full of possibilities and opportunities. It may seem that they don’t deal with real problems, however the opposite is true. Reality and studies prove that today’s young people deal with self-harm, depression, bullying, drugs, they have fears that they won’t handle the demands placed on them by society and family. They are afraid that they don’t belong anywhere. Every day they fight to free themselves from often hopeless situations that life has put them in.
Studies about generations help understand the behavior of a particular generation, empathize with it, and based on that work with it effectively.
