Community Česko.Digital

An integral part of Česko.Digital is a community of (not only) expert volunteers from many fields, from IT to project management to marketing, who help the state and non-profit organizations in their free time, thus changing the Czech Republic for the better.

It was founded in 2019 by Jakub Nešetřil, Radka Horáková and Eva Pavlíková. The goal of Česko.Digital is a future in which technology serves people, regardless of time, place or social conditions.

Expert volunteers

The most important ones, without whom it wouldn't work. A large part of the Česko.Digital community are expert volunteers from many fields, from IT to project management to marketing. Their role is irreplaceable - pro bono they have helped or are helping the state and non-profit organizations with digitalization, changing the Czech Republic for the better. And what do some of them have to say about their experience with Česko.Digital ?
I enjoy meeting inspiring people from whom I can draw new experiences and information, and I am also happy when I can help them with something.

Core team

The number of tribal team members changes irregularly, but the aspirations and values remain the same. With paid time and the necessary context, the tribal team is fully committed to the development of the organisation, service design and community care. At the same time, they create the organisation's strategy and branding to help achieve the goals set. It is also responsible for communicating the organization's benefits and uniqueness and building relationships with government, nonprofits, the public and other organizations.
