Daily activity of a Duha Local Group

What can children do after school instead of watching TV and playing computer games? They can go to Duha’s open club and spend their free time in a creative way! But what can they do in a club like this?

Amongst other things they can learn pottery. All children like having dirty hands and have great fun creating fancy objects out of clay and finally painting them. They can also play board games, ping pong and other interesting and captivating games in our daily clubs.

We also have a centre for socially disadvantaged children. This centre offers help for children with learning difficulties, and also offers assistance with homework alongside courses in music, dancing and computer skills.

Many local groups organize attractive trips. There are opportunities to go climbing in the mountains, cycling, hiking or having picnics in the countryside... These trips offer an excellent opportunity to be close to nature, discover new and beautiful places in the Czech Republic and enjoy time with friends.

Duha organizes activities not only for children. Parents are also welcome to participate in Duha’s life. We run a project called Baby English where children between the age 2-7 years old can meet once a week accompanied by their mothers to learn English together. The main activity is singing simple songs whilst showing some gestures, repeating some epigrams or drawing. All methods are interactive, involving both sides mother and child.
