The Thomas Bata Foundation and the Václav Havel Library have joined forces and started their cooperation. On Friday, the library's director Tomáš Sedláček and its manager Pavel Hájek welcomed representatives of the Zlín-based foundation, its director Gabriela Končitíková and project manager Jakub Malovaný, to give a more distinct and concrete shape to their cooperation. At the meeting, everyone present immediately agreed that the values of the giants, who Václav Havel and Tomáš Baťa were, need to be spread further, and much more intensively and across all spectrums.
"Indifference to others and indifference to the fate of the whole is precisely what opens the door to evil." VÁCLAV HAVEL
"It is not possible to separate oneself from the whole and say, 'This does not concern me' - everyone is responsible in his or her own way for the society in which he or she lives. Let us accept our share of responsibility, only in this way can we build a better world." TOMÁŠ BAŤA
