Children, schools and parents

We're here for young and old alike! For children, pupils and students, in short for anyone who wants to learn more about the city they live in. We work with children as a team of tutors and teachers who explore the city with them and show them how it works. We regularly organise series of walks that show children Prague from a new perspective. Children can also participate in our suburban camps.

Children

Discovering the city: we go on walks in search of interesting and hidden places, guided by those who know them best.

  • for children from 8 to 18 years old
  • the second Thursday of the month, 3.00–6.00 p.m.

The city in your hands: we meet the experts from IPR. We talk, dream up and plan the city as we would like to see it.

  • for children from 10 to 15 years old
  • every Thursday, 3.00–5.00 p.m. (except the second Thursday of the month)

Art workshops for the current exhibition: we introduce our exhibition to the little ones in a fun way. We talk about architecture and town planning and create on a current topic.

  • for children from 6 to 15 years old
  • on selected weekends

Suburban camps: we go out into the field, observe, take photos, collect information and data, discuss them, think up and propose new solutions for specific places in Prague.

  • for children from 9 to 14 years old
  • on selected weekends and in the holidays

Schools

Guided tours of the current exhibition: provided by trained custodians or experts on the given subject; can be combined with a tailor-made workshop.


Explorer: this project focuses on exploring public space, how it works, what it has to offer and why it is good to take an interest and care about it.

  • time required: 6-8 lessons
  • for pupils and students from 9 to 14 years of age
  • it is held directly in the school

Planner / Land Planner: this teaching block for schools shows pupils not only what a zoning plan is and how it can be used for their plans, but also how landscapes and cities have developed and how their history can be read from their current state.

  • time required: 12–16 lessons
  • for pupils and students from 10 to 17 years of age
  • it is held directly in the school

Families with children

Worksheets: do you know, for example, how many lamps there are in the city and how many bulbs repairmen have to replace each year? Or how much of the city is made up of parks, squares and other common spaces? You can learn about Prague and our site in worksheets that you can pick up from the custodians.


Games: in drawers near the study room you can find art supplies, games, Lego and paper puzzles. You can also play croquet, table tennis or Ludo at our centre.


Cinema for parents with children: come and see a film with a stroller. We hold screenings with reduced volume and dimmed lighting, offering parents a space to enjoy the film and engage with their children.

  • the last Friday of the month

Archigames: we present the work of well-known architects. We draw, compose, build and play.

  • for children from 2 to 5 years of age, accompanied by their parents

Who we are?

We are interested in the future of Prague. We want to improve the public debate on the development of our city. We are an essential source of clear and accessible information about the capital. Our goal is to serve as an open platform, a "base camp" for anyone interested in the joint planning and functioning of Prague.

At CAMP we an exhibition hall with a unique 25-metre projection screen, a study room with a large selection of publications on architecture, urbanism and design, a café with an outdoor terrace, and a lecture hall with a diverse programme comprising public discussions, appearances by domestic and foreign experts, workshops, film screenings, art workshops for children, and other activities.

We manage the map application "Prague Tomorrow?", which provides an overview of construction projects in Prague — from the first ideas through projects in the phase of preparation to those already being built on construction sites.

We blog about how the face of our city is changing, and feature interviews with those who have a say in what it will look like in 20 years’ time. We select tips for walks through Prague and trips to contemporary buildings and look for ways to get to know architecture and cities better.

We are part of the Prague Institute of Planning and Development (IPR Prague).
