CZECHOSLOVAK SOCIETY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES |
Future Perpectives
Since the
fall of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia in 1989, the Society has been instrumental
in assisting the fledgling democracies in reestablishing the normal functions of a free
society, through material assistance, lectures, seminars, and workshops, and most of all,
through the personal expertise and experience of its members. This emphasis will continue
in the future.
The Society also recognizes, however, its obligations toward Czech and Slovak emigrants,
as well as members of other ethnic groups who migrated from the territory of the former
Czechoslovakia, and is committed to supporting certain activities for the preservation of
their cultural heritage and the fostering of their cultural contacts with the Czechlands
and Slovakia.
Above all, the Society is interested in encouraging young people, whether they are Czech
and Slovak students who want to enhance their educational opportunities abroad, or North
American students or those of other nationalities who wish to make Czech and / or Slovak
culture the focus of their professional careers.
