OP JAK - New EU Operational Programme to support education in the Czech Republic 2022-2025
The full schedule of applications is here.
Primary and secondary schools can apply until 28 April 2023.
This project is also known as "templates". Educational institutions can receive a subsidy of up to 40,000 CZK for "innovative education" through the Ministry of Education. Innovative education means the linking of formal and non-formal education (e.g. through a DofE programme). The funding can be used for joint meetings during the school year, DofE club, rewards for teachers (DofE leaders), training, expeditions, etc. For more information, please visit www.opjak.cz. For a brief guide on how to apply in a project right at the DofE, see HERE.

This enables the school to draw funding for the DofE programme directly from the founder. The application process is not complicated and obtaining funding for schools is relatively easy.
