The basic prerequisite for the long-term development of any municipality is a stably funded and well-managed school. However, the role of founders is changing dramatically. Mayors are no longer just administrators of school buildings, but are becoming key drivers of regional education quality. This growing responsibility, which fully resonates with the goals of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MŠMT) and the vision of Strategy 2030+, is reflected in the "School as the Engine of the Region" conference. The event will take place on June 4 at the Brno Exhibition Centre as part of the URBIS The Smart Cities Meetup fair. 

Reuse centres are among the most visible and at the same time most practical tools through which cities and municipalities can prevent waste generation. Their basic principle is simple: to give items that would otherwise end up as waste a second life. Furniture, household equipment, sports gear or construction materials can thus serve new users once again. Reuse centres support the circular economy, save natural resources and household expenses, and contribute to social cohesion in cities.

Earth Day, celebrated every year on April 22, is a global call for a more responsible approach to our planet. Since 1970, it has drawn attention to the impacts of human activity on the environment and has promoted the search for solutions in the areas of climate protection, sustainable development, and quality of life. Cities—where the majority of the world’s population now lives—play a key role in achieving these goals. They are both sources of innovation and places where environmental challenges are most intensely concentrated.
