Learning - directly under the fruit trees

Wow children with an excursion to Hostetin - and they will not even be aware they are learning. Interactive programs show them how the passive house works, what biomass is and how the water from the village is cleaned. We organize multi-day stays for older elementary and secondary schools.

Excursions for environmental projects in the village (1.5-4 h)

With their own eyes, the children will see that energy from the sun is sufficient to heat water, the village can be heated with wood, and bacteria on the roots of plants manage to clean waste water. In the form of interactive excursions pupils get closer our environmental projects (reed bed wastewater treatment plant, municipal biomass heating plant, passive house, solar collectors, photovoltaic power plant, apple juicing plant, and friendly public lighting). Interpretation and accompanying gaming activities are tailored to their age.

Residency program (3-5 days)

The concept of sustainable development is now the inflection of all cases - but how does it actually work? This is what pupils and students learns during their stay in Hostetin. Where else to learn about sustainable development than in the village where the term is put into practice?

Uplynulo 5 let od návštěvy prince Charlese v Hostětíně

O víkendu jsme slavnostně odhalili pamětní desku, která připomíná pětileté výročí návštěvy britského prince Charlese v Hostětíně. I po pěti letech v Hostětíně zůstávají v platnosti přínosy, o kterých se tehdy s princem diskutovalo: čistší ovzduší, levnější energie z obnovitelných zdrojů (především slunce a biomasy), energetická soběstačnost a pracovní příležitosti.

Britský následník trůnu je znám svým dlouhodobým úsilím a zaujetím, se kterým se věnuje ochraně životního prostředí a podpoře udržitelného rozvoje. Počínaje ochranou klimatu, projektem na ochranu deštných pralesů („Prohrajeme-li boj s kácením pralesů, prohrajeme boj s klimatickou změnou“), přes podporu ekologického zemědělství, práci místních partnerství a zakladatelskou a podpůrnou činností ve stovkách nevládních neziskových organizací. Jeho nasazení neutuchá a v řadě svých letošních projevů zdůrazňuje, že ochranu klimatu považuje za vrcholnou prioritu, kterou se lidstvo musí zabývat (“Tento rok představuje naprosto zásadní příležitost, ne-li poslední šanci, aby mezinárodní společenství vytvořilo soubor vzájemně propojených, soudržných a ambiciózních pravidel, v nichž by se měl pohybovat rozvoj, boj s chudobou a se změnami klimatu, snižování rizik katastrof a ochrana přírodního prostředí. … Nemáme času nazbyt a já nemohu uvěřit, že se kdokoli z nás chce dočkat odsouzení vlastními vnoučaty za to, že úmyslně selhal a nesnažil se o zajištění jejich budoucnosti. Já určitě ne…”), říká princ.
