Lhotová, Zuzana ; Moree, Dana (advisor) ; Jurková, Zuzana (referee)
The primary aim of this thesis is to introduce the concept of development education and find out whether non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can help nursery schools in implementing it. The aim of the empirical part is to find out which problems face teachers from nursery schools during the implementation of development education and which concrete steps would help them to improve their cooperation with NGOs. Since the development education is a new term in Czech Republic, my aim was to find out how it is being perceived by teachers. Development education touches topics that are being paid much more attention these days such as world trade, globalization, climatic changes, development countries, poverty and humanitarian aid. Development education can get into nursery schools thanks to school law from 2004, which brings more freedom to schools in preparation of their own educational programs.

Who SIngs Jewish? Voice as a Vehicle of Performing Jewish Identities in Prague Synagogues and Prayer Rooms

The aim of this mainly musical anthropology research is to describe, analyze and to interpret the process of searching for Jewish identity through the changes of Jewish religious music in Prague and through the positions taken by its participants . During the last centuries, the Jewish ritual music has gone through changes which have been depending on what did it mean to be a Jew at that time - what did the actors want to be and how did they fullfil this idea through the performance. Especially striking change happened to the synagogue music in Prague during the post-Socialist period. Attention is paid to the social-historical context of different types of ritual music design, to the period aesthetic ideals and to the conflicts about what is the real Jewish music performance. All these phenomenons show the deeper social negotiation of the community members about the poignant question, how to be a right Jew and how to integrate the components of one's identity at the same time. The ethos of the particular time periods are also demonstrated by personal histories of some Prague synagogue singers leading the worship (the so-called chazanim or cantors). The research combines the qualitative ethnographic attitudes of social and historical anthropology and anthropology of music.
