Why should Ostrava be Capital of Culture 2015?

Because Ostrava could become Capital of Culture

Because of Ostrava’s people



… and why am I involved in the project?

Because I was asked to become involved by Čestmír Kopecký, who I respect

This work is how I earn my living, and the project makes this work worthwhile

It’s a professional and personal challenge

Curiosity, a desire to get to know Ostrava

I like helping people who make an effort
