Join us on November 17, 2025, to celebrate the Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Day and International Students’ Day in Hradec Králové.
A group of students from the University of Hradec Králové, Charles University, and the University of Defence, in cooperation with local cultural institutions, has prepared a rich programme culminating in a candlelight procession through the city centre.
The procession will begin symbolically at Václav Havel Square in the UHK Na Soutoku campus and continue into the city. Along the route, participants will stop for several cultural activities – first at the Museum of Eastern Bohemia, then at the Faculty of Medicine of Charles University, and finally at the Klicpera Theatre, where the event will conclude with a traditional happening.
Programme soon.
