Beyond the Stadium: The City as a Playground for Everyone

Univercity Ostrava!!! stage

Can Ostrava become a city where running, training, cheering, or simply spending time outdoors brings joy? A city where a stadium or a park is not just a structure, but a place of emotions, encounters, and shared experiences across generations?

Modern science today supports everyone, from professional athletes to people who enjoy sport recreationally. Advanced technologies now routinely monitor performance, recovery, sleep, and even mental resilience.

Using Ostrava as a case study, we will show how a city can systematically support sport and physical activity from backing sports clubs and youth events to building new sports facilities and major development projects.

Did you know that injury and disease prevention also depends on clean air? Safe public spaces? Accessible playgrounds?

Join us for a discussion on how science can help Ostrava become a city of healthy movement: for adults, children, and professional athletes alike. We will explore how to support young people so that sport becomes a joy rather than an obligation, and how to balance performance, well-being, and sustainability.

We will talk about how to create environments where people play sports, cheer, connect and above all, live well.

Performers: Jan Dohnal, Miroslav Pacut
