The collection has been moved to the Rector’s Office of UTB, 5555 T. G. Masaryk Square, as of Monday, March 7.

The collection will take place in the faculty Gallery G18 at Štefánikova 5670 near the public transport stop Školní. In addition, in the following days, students and teachers of the art faculty are planning an online art and design sale, 100% of the proceeds of which will also go to help Ukraine. “We have joined forces with People in Need, which manages collections across the country. In the material collection, we mainly need hygiene supplies, disinfectants, medicines, power banks, sleeping bags and nutrition and clothing for children. I am glad that our students have decided to help by donating their design products for sale,” says Pepa Kocourek, Dean of the Faculty of Multimedia Communications. What is needed?
