I completed an internship at the Česká spořitelna Foundation, where I gained firsthand insight into how one of the Czech Republic's largest foundations supporting financial education operates. The experience gave me a practical understanding of the nonprofit sector and grant funding, which I had previously only known in theory. During the internship, I was also invited to appear on Czech Television, where i spoke about financial literacy among young people and shared my perspective with a national audience. This experience not only enhanced my understanding of the nonprofit sector but also allowed me to contribute to raising awareness about the importance of financial education for the younger generation.
Read the interview on the Foundation's website (in Czech)
I saw how different projects are run, how budgets for educational projects are planned, and how the foundation measures the impact of its activities on young people’s financial literacy.
I improved my communication skills with adult professionals, my work with data, and I learned to work independently on tasks with deadlines.
I saw firsthand how the foundation brings together businesses, schools, and nonprofit organisations around a shared goal: improving financial literacy among the younger generation.
