On Saturday, February 28th, participants in the MjUNI program visited FSS MUNI to experience the atmosphere of university life firsthand. For one day, they stepped into the world of research and took on the role of university students.
MjUNI is an initiative of Masaryk University designed for children and young people aged 9 to 18. At FSS, more than 200 participants attended 14 lectures and workshops led by faculty members. The topics were wide-ranging, covering areas such as the relationship between digital media and politics, creative writing, and a lecture exploring violence and football.
The primary aim of MjUNI is to promote the sciences and scholarship among young people and to inspire them to pursue further education. The program helps participants broaden their horizons, develop critical thinking skills, and gain a clearer understanding of the potential academic and career pathways that exist. By experiencing the university environment firsthand, children and teenagers gain inspiration, self-confidence, and motivation to continue learning beyond the classroom—fostering a lasting relationship with knowledge and lifelong learning.

The FSS MUNI community came together in support of Ukraine following Russia’s invasion. As part of the Café Kyiv initiative, a series of lectures and discussions was held to address the ongoing war in Ukraine. The event—commemorating the resilience of Ukraine’s defenders—was organized by the Student Section of the International Institute of Political Science (IIPS) in collaboration with IIPS and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, with the support of FSS MUNI.
What new initiatives will sustainability bring to FSS? Starting in 2026, FSS MUNI will implement a new Sustainability Strategy. The goal of the Sustainability Working Group was to ensure that the strategy goes beyond mere words and focuses above all on practical solutions that will have a tangible impact on everyday life at the faculty.
