The Kul.tourist is back and heading beyond the city's borders! As part of our 28 Houses platform, which brings together cultural centers (and one garden) across the region, we have fantastic partners who will be hosting the Kul.tourist in their towns as part of the first joint project.

České Budějovice 2028 has received support from the National Recovery Plan for the development of creative education and has joined a network of organizations fostering this topic across the country. Engaging in discussions about integrating artistic forms and activities into education means recognizing the key role that artists and cultural institutions can play in the learning process. The support from the NRP is aimed at creating the groundwork for the Platform for Creative Learning in the South Bohemian Region, which will meaningfully connect cultural, artistic, and educational stakeholders and become an integral part of the Creative Minds project in the future.

The Womenpedia/Women's Work project brings a female perspective into the cultural atmosphere of the region. It is dedicated primarily to women—artists, creators, cultural actors, and movers of cultural and social life in Budějovice and South Bohemia. Gradually, we aim to expand it to a broader national and international context.

The South Original Festival offers a unique experience that connects theater with the mysterious atmosphere of unusual locations. You will become part of captivating stories that come to life on unexpected stages. Each performance invites collective exploration, creates space for surprising revelations, and allows participants to delve into their own emotions and thoughts. South Original is not just a festival; it is a journey filled with stories, adventures, and unexpected encounters that leave unforgettable memories and impressions.

The project serves as a chronicle of the city, written by its own residents. Every month, two writers share their experiences of life in the city. It is up to the writer to choose the topic, whether to focus on a specific location or take a more global approach to their notes. The strength of writing lies in diversity, making it exciting to discover new paths and perspectives. Each month, two illustrations are created to accompany the notes. The writings primarily aim for a conscious reflection on the surroundings—writers are encouraged to document what changes in the city, what remains the same, their memories, or their wishes for the future.

Urban outdoor sports, especially skateboarding, are among the activities that naturally connect public space, sports, and youth. The most prominent local skateboarding and cultural collective is Světadíl. Světadíl aims to improve conditions for skateboarding and independent culture in the South Bohemian metropolis and its surroundings. Each year, they organize a skate event as part of the Budějovický Majáles, highlighting the potential of public spaces in the city. It is Světadíl, representing the local skate scene, that was at the forefront of the Skateholders project.
