Our school cooperates with the dormitories at Vranovska where there is an allocated, reconstructed floor for our students. The dorms are only 20 – 30 minutes from school.

What they said about Bilgym

Mrs. Pekanova – the head of dorms in the first year of our cooperation:

“I have been working with young people all my life. This way of cooperation, when both staff and students are contributing to creating a pleasant atmosphere has been my dream I never thought could come true. I am grateful you proved it can be done.”

Hankas (D+J) – former superseniors, co-authors of the BilGym Zazemie project. 

Durin one of our ever-so-long dorm talks we figured out this:

“Nothing connects people more than common worries and fears, and sharing each other`s milestone experiences (e.g. starting new school, trying to fit in, getting acquainted with a new city, endless commuting…)”

And that may be the reason why our evening between-the-years “gettogethers” have always been very cheerful events when we learned a lot about ourselves, each other, about relationships and problem solving.

We wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.

On (of) our cooperation beginnings

Towards the end of 2018/2019 we contemplated the way of crating safe environment for our students, not even at school but outside of it as well. Especially the students staying at dorms used to stay at school until the very last moment, enjoying the pleasant and stimulating environment. That`s why we approached the dormitory management and the cooperation that followed was beyond our expectations.

During the 2019 school holiday we cooperated in reconstructing one of the dorm floors, which was then allocated for Bilgym students.

…the story continues

In 2019/2020 we planned and got engaged in various activities on the BilGym Zazemie floor. Not all of our plans actually took place – we only managed to organise several creative workshops and a beautiful Christmas get-together before the lockdown started. We hope that in 2021/2022 we will launch many more events.

Why staying at the dormitory?

  • Friends from the start
  • Mutual support
  • A good advice always at hand
  • No evening boredom

From creative workshops, movie nights and debates to meeting interesting people.  

Even out of dormitory – various events in environment support, a game taking place in town in order to get acquainted with its history.

Accessibility (to get home, to school or to town)
