Friday, 10 September, was a day-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of the University of South Bohemia on Sokolský Island
On Friday, 10 September, the 30th anniversary of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice was celebrated from early morning until late in the evening. A large stage was erected on Sokolský Island in the centre of České Budějovice and the various faculties presented their scope and activities in their respective stands. The Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of FHSS USB was also represented at this event, occupying a large space in the area and offering not only entertainment, but also the opportunity to try out unique tools and learn some useful things. The event was favoured by nice weather, which allowed to use the area in front of the stalls where our paramedics immediately gained huge attention with their resuscitation models. There was also enough space to try out various aids for people with disabilities. The tent, on the other hand, provided shade and a pleasant background for health measurements and lifestyle advice.
The programme for high school students started at 10 am. Soon after, they completely filled the area and were very active. FHSS USB offered them first aid lessons, healthy lifestyle counselling, including the opportunity to measure their BMI, and find out how much sugar is in commonly used foods. The social study programmes were presented in different ways. High school students and their teachers made use of the opportunity to try on glasses simulating drunkenness or a drugged state with great interest. The afternoon was designed mainly for families with children, so the faculty presented the Children's University of FHSS USB, and two students of paramedicine presented the basics of first aid again. From 5 pm onwards, there was a musical programme interspersed with interviews with the Deans of the individual faculties, presentation videos of the faculties, an interview with the Rector of USB, and the christening of a new book about the history of the University of South Bohemia.
