Program: Development of personal competencies through student activities
Are you a scout? Are you involved in the climate movement? Do you lead a school club? Do you help out at a shelter after school? All of this (and more) is a form of volunteering. Without volunteering, many things in society would not function or would never have existed in the first place. We deeply value the free time you invest in volunteering, and that is why we have decided to recognize it.
Evaluation of Completed Activities at UCT Prague
This program is designed for students who wish to develop themselves through voluntary activities, strengthen their soft skills, work on their self-improvement, and simultaneously strive to help society. It does not matter if you are a complete beginner or if you have been trying to improve the world around you for years. It is never too late to sign up for the volunteering program. Furthermore, we retroactively recognize activities from the entire previous year. The program is not about enforcement or monitoring activities. Completing individual activities is solely the responsibility and discretion of each student. Project coordinators serve only as support and potential advisors for further direction.
How does the program work?
Register for the program via the form and enter your first activity. You can find inspiration in the table of evaluated activities (in the Scoring Rules tab below). Activities supported by the project include work in school and extracurricular clubs and groups, tutoring, organizing social and educational events, and many others. After submitting an activity, program administrators will inform you of the point value of your entry or request additional information if necessary. Upon reaching 500 points, you will be invited to undergo career coaching at the Counseling and Career Center, which will help you direct your efforts meaningfully. If your activities reach 1000 points, you will receive a certificate declaring your acquired competencies and experience.
