‘Where to hide wisdom so humans cannot find it?’ asked the gods and their answer was:
‘Let’s hide it to the human heart. They will never search there.’
Based on a Hinduist legend
INspire is an NGO whose formation started in 2018 and whose definite completion came about in 2019. It was formed around people sharing different sets of skills but the same vision: to create a world which works for everyone.
We believe that we must go by example to the others, to inspire them to become a change they would like to see in the world. In order to do it, we are using the methods of non-formal education. Unlike formal education which already knows the right answers, non-formal education doesn’t know them; it only creates a context in which everybody can learn what they need to learn. INspire creates the context for learning with the focus on the diversity of perspectives – we inspire people to look at things from different points of view.
We believe that wisdom lies inside of humans. That’s why we encourage people to explore their inner selves and look for inspiration within their own hearts (therefore IN-spire). We believe this way they can become an inspiration for others.
We are organizing, promoting, facilitating and implementing local and international educational programs using non-formal education for personal, social and professional development of groups and individuals.

Ivana Kamenská
Production, burocracy, budget writing
Despite (or thanks to) my academic and research background in human biology, nutrition, and mental health, I somehow find myself happiest in NGO work, community projects, and non-formal education. I’m passionate about health in its broad sense — connecting food, movement, emotional wellbeing, and sustainability. At INspire, I contribute through cooking, promoting sustainability, co-creating projects, and supporting their implementation
Eva Burtseva
Secretary, management
Hi, I’m Eva.
I’m a Jackie of all trades, dipping my hands into anything connected to the intersection of non-formal education, participatory design, inclusion and social change. In the last few years I have explored many fields from public speaking and facilitation to marketing, storytelling, and event organization.
My main value is learning, and I am rooted in the belief that meaningful learning happens through experience, collaboration, and reflection, with somatic approaches playing an important role in how we interact with the world.
I’m particularly interested in storytelling, embodiment, and creative methods that help people connect with themselves, each other, and the communities they are part of. Whether coordinating projects, facilitating workshops, or developing educational resources, I aim to create experiences that are engaging, inclusive, and based on participatory approach
Zuzana Kulichová
Production, EduLarp specialist
I’ve always enjoyed working with people. I spent many years leading a Scout group in my hometown and later coordinated a small children forest club, where I designed nature-based educational activities. One of my greatest passions. is slow travelling. Together with my family, I spent a year exploring Andalusia, Morocco, and South America with just our backpacks. Along the way, I took part in community-based volunteer projects focused on spiritual development, natural building, and sustainable living, gaining inspiration from different cultures and ways of life. In recent years, I have focused intensively on respectful education, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and mindfulness. I recently completed a comprehensive facilitation training with Edutica, which further strengthened my approach to creating safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environments. As an active LARP player, I now focus on organizing educational LARPs at INspire, combining immersive storytelling with non-formal education and personal development.

Michal Filipek
Catering, ecospecialist
Kitchen and sustainability facilitator, plant-based chef, low-waste lifestyle geek and sustainability lover. From studying French language and literature to Erasmus+ cooking. Long story short, I like cooking more. I can share with you my experiences in the kitchen, including several years working in a restaurant. My method is simple – everyone can cook. I believe that a sustainable lifestyle is not a matter of being perfect but implementing small steps into your everyday life. During this project, you will have a chance to experience many of these little steps and see which one is working for you. I will be there to support you!
