is a non-profit civil society organization (initially an informal group of young people founded in 2008). We organize a wide variety of activities for adults and children (puppet theatre, lectures, presentations and talks about foreign countries and cultures, informal language trainings, dance and creative workshops, intercultural and intergenerational meetings).
In 2010 we arranged a very successful international event called
Woman among Women. You can find more about the project at young.baribal.cz.
Our main aim is to share each other's opinions and experience, develop our knowledge and skills using non-formal and informal learning. We look for new opportunities as well as for roots of traditions.
Why the name Baribal?
Baribal is a mammal of the family Ursidi better known as the black bear.
He can stand and walk on their hind legs.
He likes sport - he is an excellent climber, a strong swimmer and a good runner.
He prefers a healthy style of living - he is fond of honey, herbs, nuts, berries and fish (especially salmons and trouts) and likes long walks in the countryside in forested areas.
He is a very peaceful animal that does not attack man unless he is in danger and even prefers not to fight with other predators.
Well, we have a lot in common, but there is one big difference: Our Baribal never hibernates - he organizes activities during the whole year.
