Communities I belong to, and the ones I used to.

Being active in local communities, associations and clubs has always been a big part of my life. On this page I list the ones I am, or have been, part of.

Teekkari and CHEESE #

Teekkari is the name for a student of a technical field in Finland.

I first came into contact with this incredibly rich and welcoming community of Teekkaris during my exchange studies at Aalto University in 2025. During my stay I attended many events and gave a lot to the community, and the community gave even more to me. I became a proud Teekkari and will be one for the rest of my life – as the saying goes: Once a Teekkari, always a Teekkari.

Before leaving Finland to return to Czechia, a couple of friends and I initiated the creation of CHEESE – CHentral Eastern European Sitsit Enjoyers – an international community built on Finnish Teekkari student culture. The point of CHEESE is to keep the friendships we made during our Teekkari adventures alive, to let our Teekkari selves be expressed, and to bring Teekkari tradition and culture into an international context, so that interested people from all over Europe can continue enjoying this community even once their days in Finland are behind them.

So far we have organised two international sitsits: one in Prague for about 90 people, the other in Vienna for about 60. Our Telegram group has almost 200 members and keeps growing.

diFAdlo #

DiFAdlo is the theatre club of the Faculty of Architecture at CTU, founded by my girlfriend Kristýna Dusílková and Jana Bušová.

So far I have:

• played a small role in an adaptation of Václav Havel’s Asanace (link),
• played one of the main roles in Krizový štáb, an original play by Kristýna and Jana,
• played a small role in a short play (link) by Kristýna and Jana again,
• taken part in two public improv workshops and many improv sessions at our regular meetings.

After years of helping student theatre behind the scenes as a light technician in high school, it is nice to experience it from the other side.

Sincoolka #

Sincoolka is the student club of the Sinkule dormitory. The dorm has been my home for my whole university studies; over the years I got to know many of the students living here and eventually became an active member of the club.

For the club I:

• maintain the club’s common room,
• act as club and network registrar,
• occasionally help prepare events and with internal club work, from installing network access points to cleaning the club’s spaces,
• occasionally attend board meetings,
• created and maintain the emojis on the club’s Discord server.

FIT++ #

FIT++ is the student club of the Faculty of Information Technology at CTU.

I am not a very active member, but through my studies I:

• attended many events organised by the club and made many friends at them,
• co-organised one year’s Linux install session for freshmen and helped out at several others,
• co-organised a day hike,
• occasionally helped prepare events or clean up afterwards.

ESN #

ESN, Erasmus Student Network, is the international association supporting exchange students.

As with FIT++, I was never a fully active member, but I:

• helped run the office hours for one semester in 2023,
• was a buddy to an exchange student from Romania in 2025, and helped several others settle in as well.

No longer active #

Basketball #

In high school I actively encouraged younger people from the neighbourhood to play basketball. With a friend I also ran an after-school club for children for two school years. One of the kids, Kuba Kojzar, who had not played at all before joining us, later became a professional player!

Light technician for the high school theatre #

At high school, a friend and I helped our school theatre club as light technicians, effectively being part of the theatre community without having to go on stage :)

Board game nights #

From 2023 to 2025 I was one of three founding members of a small community of people, mostly from the faculty, who met regularly to play board games in a clubroom at Strahov.
