Christmas in Children's Home
KOSTRHOUNOVÁ, Eliška
The bachelor thesis deals with Christmas in children's homes. The theoretical part introduces the children's homes in more detail and also takes into account the factors that influence the experience of a child who is placed in institutional care. It also describes the traditions, holidays and symbols that are part of Advent and Christmas in the Czech Republic. The research part was developed through semi-structured interviews with staff of children's homes. The aim was to find out the following: What specific traditions do children's homes observe? How does the staff communicate with the children about the existence of Christ Child? Is there increased contact with the family? Whether children go home for Christmas? What is the course of Christmas Eve? What organizations provide gifts to the orphanages? It appears that the teaching staff make an effort to ensure that the children are not deprived of anything during Advent and Christmas. In the children's homes, various traditions are observed, the homes are decorated and presents are brought, as in the most families, by Christ Child. The only difference is when the festive dinner takes place. Due to some children going home, Christmas is celebrated 2 times. Gifts to the orphanages are provided by many organizations, but also by individuals. The work is beneficial to a wide range of readers and offers a partially different perspective on the celebration of holidays that most people experience within the family circle.

Home as Place of Rituals / Do not disturb! / Home Zone
Kubátová, Veronika ; Baráčková, Daniela (referee) ; Artamonov, Vasil (advisor)
I have been dealing with the themes of prefabricated houses and housing estates until recently. I was especially interested in their aesthetics. Order, grid and certain regularity and repeatability. At the same time, I was always interested in his social connotations, mainly because I live in these places. Gradually I became more interested in topics related to my own home. So I moved from the general themes to my own experience. But what is my home? Home is a place of utmost importance in our society. Home is made up of people, family. People have it associated with many rituals that accompany their lives often without actually being considered for them. Thanks to these rituals, we manage, among other things, the everyday influx of positive and negative influences of the surroundings and deal with them in various ways. Morning coffee, brushing your teeth, lighting a candle, wiping dust, filling a bath, scattering water on flowers, etc. Balance is the key to everything we do. And I would like to analyze, document and process these home and personal rituals in this work. The final thesis will consist of a free series of paintings with possible interventions and overlaps into video or installation, etc.

Gajdošová, Marta ; Landová, Tabita (advisor) ; Macek, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis investigates the signifikance of rituals in the adolescent age on accepting and anchoring life values of teenagers and their ability to manage difficult situations. The teoretical part describes the problematice of mutually influencing with psychosocial and spiritual child development until the adulthood and ways of guiding and pastoring youth. It uses general and experiential interpretation to ex-plain the deep meaning of rituals in all mentioned processes. The whole diploma work comes out of a fact that the current society prefers to deflect from regular activities, it rather emphasizes variety, fast and dynamic changes. Young people are significantly influeced by this phenomenon since they are being raised in this way. In order to accept the signifikance of rituals for their life they need explaination, education, understanding and personal experience. In the practical part it investigates and compares the work with christian youth and youth in recular environment of a dormitory in a socially excluded area. With the help of open interviews and observation it investigates their ability and intensity of specific rituals perception and the crossover of these experiences into the life of adolescents.
