More about programs
How he became a HY Worker:
Pavel comes from Letovice and also his Healthy Youth ministry takes place there. However, he had spent couple years in Olomouc, where he worked in a low-threshold club for children and youth. All those experiences he had gained there, he can successfully use in his current ministry.
And how he became a part of INCZ Healthy Youth program?
Pavel says:
“My ministry in Olomouc low-threshold club had to adapt to formal and bureaucratic requirements of public administration. I began to realize that the administrative works exhaust all of us and there is no longer mood for clients themselves and we are losing interest in them.
I looked for what I could do. The opportunity to be a lecturer in The Healthy Youth Program seemed to be meaningful and effective.”

“The grade 8 and grade 9 pupils rated the talks as excellent. The best thing they have ever heard! They liked the HY worker’s friendly and pleasant behavior, speech very close to teenagers and content of discussions. They learned and revised the important facts which they appreciate in their life and all of that in an interesting way.”

“We ordered programs for our student for this school year with cooperation of Mr. Kotoucek. The topics were:
Pain called bullying; Sex, AIDS and Relationships; Friendship and Love; Modern is not to smoke; Cyber-bullying and Predator on the Horizon; The True Face of Facebook.
Programs of Mr. Kotoucek are always very carefully prepared and pupils are interested in them.
We also invited Mr. Kotoucek to meet the parents regarding topic Facebook, where he explained this issue to them. Depending on the response of parents I evaluate this performance also very positively. We intend our cooperation with Mr. Kotoucek to continue in the next school year.”
