They are also encouraged to study contemporary sociological and political science theories necessary to understand civil society, the civil sector, citizenship and related areas.


  • Economy and Law for the Civil Sector

Students are acquainted with economic theories which explain the origin and characteristic features of NGOs and the relationships between NGOs and the public and private sectors.  A great attention is paid to the development and the current status of social economy and social enterprising in the Czech Republic and in the European Union.  The legal portion of this block provides students with thorough information on the legal definition and regulation of the civil sector entities operating under the CR law and within the EU.

This block consists in Social Marketing, Project Management and Accounting and Tax Regulations for the Civil Sector.  In these subjects students gain valuable knowledge and practical skills for their work in the civil sector.
