The fantastic work of our eco team at Vlastina has been recognised in Aktualne.cz in an article about how green topics and more crucially initiatives outside the classroom, are not common in the curriculum in the Czech Republic. Vlastina Deputy Head Louise McCloy says that activities beyond environmental issues in the curriculum developed here by chance. "We just started to enjoy growing radishes at school. We started to enjoy eco-themes," she says. The school garden was gradually expanded, with the addition of strawberries, flowers, herbs and cherries. McCloy already knew the Ecoschool program from Scotland, and when she once walked around her old neighborhood of Střešovice, where the green flag of the project flew, she found out that the international initiative also works in the Czech Republic.
Come on, it’s not rocket science. For some people it is!

Apart from his academic work, he’s also working on a modest side project: developing a jet engine. His approach, in his own words, is to “learn as much as possible about everything” so he can apply his knowledge to real-world situations and make the world a smarter, better place.

Despite figuring out what she wanted to study only when filling out the university applications, Laura’s list of accomplishments is not only impressive, it’s growing. She recently graduated top of her class with a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from King's College London, interned at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, and was awarded six prizes including the Jelf Medal for academic excellence and extracurricular involvement from her university. This autumn, she starts her PhD at the University of Oxford. Her journey has been full of surprises and unexpected twists, but one lesson remains the same–you can’t do anything alone.
