The role of embedded journalism in reporting on Medecins Sans Frontieres missions
Nguyenová, Thuong Ly ; Němcová Tejkalová, Alice (advisor) ; Láb, Filip (referee)
Médecins Sans Frontières is one of the most respected humanitarian organisations in the world, they focus mainly on providing medical care in places of emergency and war. These places are also interesting for journalists who can take advantage of the protection on the missions while also acquiring unique stories. Working in conflicted areas under a protection of an organisation is called embedded journalism. This concept has been until now studied in connection with army when journalists travel with soldiers. Therefore, their view of war can be distorted. However, a journalist who travels with Médecins Sans Frontières may also have a distorted view of world. Twelve journalists from around the world, who visited the missions and documented the work of doctors, gave interviews for this diploma thesis. In the interviews, they described their experiences, the advantages and disadvantages of being embedded, and how the organisation may have influenced their work. Several Médecins Sans Frontières workers have also shared their experience. The interviews were put in context by a content analysis that focused on the articles and photographs made on missions by these journalists.

Refugee and migrant children and youths, and their integration
Hrdinová, Lucie Michaela
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyse the integration of refugee and migrant children and youth and their integration in the region of Attica, Greece. Even though migration itself is frequently discussed, not much attention is given to the aspects of the migration of children and youth. Thus, the thesis aims to analyse the process and effectiveness of their integration through qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews with children and youth themselves, and employees of different NGOs and facilities. The results of the research should provide information on how the integration process and the integration and migration policy could be improved and thus more effective.

The role of NGOs in the protection of environment
Zahálková, Kristýna ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
1 The role of NGOs in the protection of environment Abstract The topic of this thesis is the role of civil societies in the protection of environment. The civil societies, the most common type of NGOs in the Czech Republic, are legal persons of the private law that, unlike public administration bodies, contribute to the protection of environment voluntarily. This fact however does not undermine the significance of their involvement. In fact, in order to achieve the highest level of the protection of environment, it is necessary that the state treats the civil societies and other subjects of the non-profit sector as its partners. This thesis is divided into two parts that are consequently divided into chapters, subchapters and sub-subchapters. In the first part, the general starting points, in particular legal aspects of the non-profit area and the law of civil societies, including their assessment, are dealt with. Subsequently, the attention is moved to the position of civil societies in the area of environmental law, and to general starting points concerning the public participation in the environmental matters and its division. The second part looks into the roles of the civil societies in the protection of environment itself. Two types of these roles are distinguished: the conflict roles and the...

KOSÁČKOVÁ, Jitka
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to assess the current state of the readiness of non-governmental organisations in South Bohemia concerning the preparation for handling larger groups of refugees. Moreover, the thesis determines the expected number of volunteers and inhabitants of South Bohemia willing to participate in activities aiming to help the refugees. The first part deals with the basic groups of non-governmental organisations distinguished by our legal code. The description of these groups focuses primarily on the general characteristics. An important chapter addresses the definition of the term Association of Non-Governmental Organisations in South Bohemia. Subsequently, the respective organisations united there are described in more detail. The last part of the theoretical background of the thesis is concerned with migration policy, the security aspects connected with migration, and the organisations working with refugees on the international level. To fulfil the aim No.1 "To review the readiness of non-governmental organisations in South Bohemia concerning the preparation for handling larger groups of refugees" and to answer the research question "What is the current state of readiness of non-governmental organisations in South Bohemia concerning the preparation for handling larger groups of refugees?", the method of qualitative research was employed. The research used the method of structured interviews with the responsible representatives of the NGOs united in the Association of NGOs in South Bohemia. To fulfil the aim No.2 "To determine the expected number of volunteers and inhabitants of South Bohemia willing to participate in activities aiming to help the refugees": The results demonstrated unequivocally that the organisation best prepared as far as the material and personnel viewpoint is concerned was the Czech Red Cross. Other organisations can provide material security or qualified psychological aid depending on their speciality. The results proved that the current state of the readiness of NGOs concerning the powers, tools and activities meets the requirements for providing help to a larger group of refugees on condition that the NGOs in The Association of Non-Governmental Organisations in South Bohemia cooperate. The questionnaire survey showed that fifty percent out of 284 respondents are willing to participate in activities aiming to help the refugees, which confirms the original hypothesis.
