Modern Philanthropy: When Helping Others Goes Beyond Donation

14:00 – 15:00 GAMECHANGERS STAGE

The intersection of healthcare, art, and technological innovation is opening up new themes and forms of collaboration in philanthropy. Mental health support plays a crucial role in successful treatment and recovery for all patients, but it is especially important for children facing serious illnesses. Yet psychological support and related services are still not available on the scale they are needed.

Pavlína Pudil, co-founder of Kunsthalle Praha, technology investor Petr Šmíd, and physician Jitka Horáková from the University Hospital Ostrava will discuss the emerging future of philanthropy.

The debate will explore cross-sector collaboration and examine how connections between people from different fields can help where systems alone fall short. It will also highlight why mental health support is an essential part of care for children with serious illnesses, as well as for their parents and siblings.
