ZS Chyne is proud to introduce the Guideline of the student-led activities at primary school and pupil's parliament involvement in school life.

We met to share and get more familiar with details of the school event City Game, which Salaskoli organizes for its students every year. The preparation and implementation are the responsibility of teachers, who prepare scenery, costumes, and scenarios and also select suitable candidates for positions in the city. Following the example of the partner school, our primary school would like to prepare a similar game for pupils and involve grade 9th pupils in the preparation and organization part.

During the week of April 17-21, 2023, our school embarked on an exciting project called "The City Chýně." This unique endeavor involved students from grade 9 taking on the roles of business owners, while sixth and seventh graders were employed by them. It was a busy week for everyone involved, as they performed various tasks such as office work, cleaning, money counting, filling out receipts and employment contracts, and even facing fines or visiting the library and hospital. However, the students also had the opportunity to enjoy their free time during breaks, indulging in activities like visiting the cinema, gym, or a non-alcoholic bar.

This city project was developed as part of a two-year collaboration with Iceland, in which our school actively participated. We agreed to test one of their methodologies and adapt it to our local conditions. Our chosen task was to create a city, inspired by Iceland's approach of building a city for younger students in collaboration with parents and local companies. This year, we piloted this methodology successfully and intend to continue it in the coming years. Our target groups will be ninth graders and sixth graders, and we welcome collaboration with other institutions, companies, and parents.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who supported us by providing props and materials for the city project. Additionally, we thank Mr. Cihelka and Mr. Grégr for their valuable contribution of photos, videos, and lending furniture and equipment from Party Furniture s.r.o. The photos can be viewed on the school's website. We are excited to present the entire project at the upcoming international conference of student parliaments on May 24, 2023.

Once again, we express our heartfelt appreciation to all those who contributed to the success of this project.

An online workshop of ZŠ a MŠ Chýně and Salaskóli about the pupils involving activities, sharing the good practice samples, inspiring each other, and making the next steps in fulfilling the aim of our mutual project about democracy took place on February 3rd. It's been a huge pleasure to meet our partners, even virtually, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon in the Czech Republic.

Our first online workshop with the pupil's parliament team from Chyne and student participation leaders from Iceland was very efficient and successful.  It took place on December 16th.

We are proud of our pupils how they managed to present themselves, an idea of pupil's parliament​ and activities they do.

Both partners are now working on translations of the Guidelines and will discuss the progress within the visit of the Icelandic team in the Czech Republic in January.
