Inner Adventures
www.inneradventures.estranky.cz
Inner Adventures works with a mixed, preferably international group of 12-18 members, split into groups by age (15/16 and 17/18) during a weekly outdoor stay, where these young people pass a personal procedure with the goal to meet their own personality. For a lot of adolescent people the question "Who I am?" is very pressing and it influences their thinking and behaviour. And if this question is seriously analysed within the group of friends thinking in the same way with support of responsible leaders, as the first reaction these young people use to be surprised, even suspicious, but then they start to feel easy, happy and finally also open and sharing. This procedure is inspired by traditional maturity ritual (coming of age) of American native tribes. Initially, 4 days of preparation proceed when young people familiarize with medical circle structure which provides for splitting the question "Who I am?" into few easier manageable parts. The fifth day including the night these young people spent with this question alone in the nature (in safe environment, in hearing distance to adult support). The sixth day is intended for evaluation, understanding and integration of experience and gained cognition.

SVVP - centre of guide-dogs SONS ČR
Guide-dog is one of the „compensation tools" for independent movement of visually handicapped people - not only for those totally sightless, but also for the weak-eyed or those with remains of sight. A guide-dog has to manage, during the training, about 30 actions. This comprises passing by the obstructions, stopping at the path-side, travelling by mass transportation, ignoring the unimportant stimuli, finding certain places as e.g. stairway or door. A dog has to train walking through a housing estate full of playing children and barging dogs. In the centre of the town he learns to manage ubiquitous noise, transportation, pavement reconstruction works, escalators and a lot of other gimmicks lurking for the dog and his master every day. His job looks simple but it exacts enormous concentration from the dog. He has to behave as a leader able to make independent decisions and at the same time as an obedient dog of his master. Already during the training, he has to manage guiding his instructor without visual control.
For safe movement of this pair - a man and his dog - it is necessary to keep perfect mutual harmony that must follow foregone perfect training of the dog and full-range training of future guide-dog owner.
