United Islands as a gamechanger? Why not!

This year’s edition of the United Islands festival is a game changer. We've moved from Střelecký Island to Štvanice, and thanks to the organization Game:Changer, we’re also stepping up as active contributors to social and urban life.

Everyone has the chance to change the game in their life — to step out of their comfort zone and choose the direction they want to take. Sport is one of the most powerful tools for overcoming depression, dealing with life’s challenges, and making a fresh start. As part of our side program, we’re bringing in well-known athletes and top professionals in their fields. At the same time, we’re placing a strong focus on education and social awareness.

We’re including guided tours by Prague’s homeless guides from Pragulic, and there will also be a historical talk about the island of Štvanice and its surroundings. On Friday and Saturday, you can visit the Open Mic Stage to attend lectures by a variety of interesting people. There are also live podcasts on the program.

Procházky s výkladem

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY / AFTERNOON

We’ve prepared two beautiful guided walks for you:

╰┈➤ On Friday, we’ll set off with people from the organization Pragulic — individuals who have experienced homelessness and will show you the area around Štvanice from a unique perspective. Meeting point is at 7 PM by the Řeka sculpture.

╰┈➤ On Saturday you can look forward to two walks. At 2 PM we will set off on Štvanice Island and take a look at the tennis complex. At 5 pm we will go on a historical walk. The meeting point is at the statue of the River.

Chill Out Zone

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY / 2–8 PM

If you’re feeling tired after a full day of music and running around Štvanice, head over to our awesome chillout zone. There will be seating for forty people — deckchairs, chairs, blankets, and pillows.

You’ll also find skewers for roasting sausages, so families with kids (and not just them!) can enjoy a little campfire-style treat right at the festival. There’ll also be a ping pong table and small football goals.

You could almost say it’s a relaxed, camp-style chillout zone — perfect for recharging.
