Volunteering

Bata Children's Program

Bata Group · Jul 2023 – Present · 3 yrs

Started as a volunteer for the Bata Children's Program. Later took on organizing Children Program events for Bata, including operational setup and coordination on the ground.

Connected event work

The volunteering role and day-job work at Bata often overlap at public events in Zlín and beyond:

Zlín Film Festival

Operational organization of the Baťa stand at Zlín Film Festival 2025 as part of the Children's Program.
66th Zlín Film Festival 2026: ran part of the half-marathon while organizing the Baťa stand again. Another year surrounded by great people over an unforgettable weekend.

Leaders of Tomorrow LOT Conference 2025 (Prague)

Software engineer support for the second year at the conference. Built the Bata Figurine Generation Python app (Google Gemini AI) so attendees could generate a 1940s Bata shoemaker figurine from a photo, with QR sharing and print-ready keepsakes.

Through-line

Volunteering with children, teaching English to kids and teens, and building interactive event tooling at Baťa events share the same thread: showing up for people, adapting to the room, and making experiences work on the day.
