Care Farming as a Form of Rehabilitation and Social service
Kadlecová, Helena ; Holmerová, Iva (advisor) ; Deverová, Lenka (referee)
Care farming includes using farms, farm work and animals, and agricultural and horticultural activities for improving human health and quality of life. It has its roots in involving patients in farm and agricultural work within large health and social care institutions in the past. It also originates from rural self-help systems, which used to employ disadvantaged individuals on farms. Modern care farming is a part of multifunctional agriculture, which offers services beyond mere production of food and fabric. From the care part it comes from the search for new possibilities of therapy, rehabilitation and integration of disabled and disadvantaged people, within the process of deinstitutionalisation of care. Some countries have developed this concept with research conducted at both national and international levels. Care farming has been mostly a bottom-up approach that arose spontaneously from individuals' and organizations' pursuits. If the number of care farming providers is higher in a country they tend to create a network to cooperate better and share experience. I describe the situation in Norway and the United Kingdom. Care farming is provided by farms or social/health care organizations as a means of service. Frequent target groups are people with mental health problems, learning difficulties,...

Comparative study of the structure of income of selected "general beneficial organizations" with attention paid to the theory of contemporary possibilities of funding
Koutník, Gustav ; Dohnalová, Marie (advisor) ; Deverová, Lenka (referee)
The main topic of this study is the Czech civic sector and its organizations. The study is based on the comparison of selected non-governmental non-profit organizations and its funding. The goal is to collect and compare sources from which were these organizations financed in the last few years, to notice possible tendencies for change and to outline potential trends. For the comparison were chosen several "general beneficial organizations", each from the different area of interest. Proposed thesis is that the Czech non-governmental non-profit organizations are relatively dependent on the funding from the public sources and they fight with lack of finances from other sources and therefore are endangered in their economic stability and often also in their mission. Before the comparison part there is a theoretical part which draws on available material about the current situation in the Czech civic sector, management of non-profit organizations, financial management and also on relevant available statistics. This theoretical material is supplemented with interviews with chosen professionals in this branch in order to achieve up-to-dateness of information. The study itself draws on commonly available information about selected NGOs, mainly on annual reports. These sources are supplemented with detailed...

Making Culture Matter: the Participative Role of ProCulture in the Field of Art and Culture Support
Ledererová, Gabriela ; Deverová, Lenka (advisor) ; Šloufová, Romana (referee)
On a more general level, this thesis deals with the social function of art and culture in the Czech Republic. In spite of a publicly dominant view that art and culture assert themselves naturally, this thesis points to the fact that without the accompanying institutional and cultural background changes in the their perception as fundamental and irreplaceable vehicles of social cohesion can not be attained. On a more concrete level this is documented through the analysis of an organization that was founded precisely in view of attaining these changes - ProCulture. In assessing their two principle goals - promoting the positive role of art and culture and the professionalization of cultural NGO's - it concludes by the insight that despite the exceptional social positioning of the organization it is much easier to promote the language of change than effectuating changes.
