Who we are
The non-profit organization Society for All was founded in 2011, originally under the name ČOSIV (Czech Professional Society for Inclusive Education). We started with a small team, but never with small ambitions.
There is so much that needs to change. Gradually we have gained respect and recognition through partial successes. Thanks to donor funding, we have grown into an organization that has three dozen permanent staff, over 200 associates and professional advisors in the field, and has built a training team of over 100 permanent trainers.
The pillars of our work
Quality education
We work to remove barriers to education and find new ways to include disadvantaged children among their peers. We strive to ensure that every child experiences a sense of achievement and acceptance at school.
Mental Health
We strengthen mental health, not only for children - we thematise wellbeing and try to make it as important for society as education itself. Because only a child who is well and safe can reach their full potential.
Helping children at risk
And we are here for children at risk - we are building an effective system for early identification of these children and subsequent effective assistance. We emphasize interdisciplinary cooperation between all those who come into contact with children.
Our values
- We're not giving up. We persevere to improve conditions for all.
- For us, the result is only real change.
- We don't sit back, we don't slack off, but we are there, where we are needed. In the field or in the House.
- We connect and support other organisations because we know that unity is strength.
- We bring to the Czech Republic a unique and revolutionary know-how that accelerates positive change.
- We are a partner you can turn to with confidence.
- And we do it all with a smile because we enjoy it.
What we offer
Awareness and education
We focus on mental health, managing challenging behaviour in children, inclusion and more. We are inspired by proven professional approaches and projects from around the world, which we adapt for the Czech environment.
Strategic partnerships
We represent and organize other non-profit organizations with a similar focus as ours. We do not fragment, but instead concentrate our efforts to maximize the impact of our activities.
Help in the field
We offer a wide range of support in the form of consultations, courses, seminars and conferences throughout the Czech Republic.
Advocacy activities
We monitor forthcoming legislation in the fields of education, social care and health, and always provide expert opinions, recommendations and opposition where necessary.
