Do you have an idea that could change the world? Take part in the student competition
Could your student project or research help make physical activity a more natural part of our lives? The Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University is launching the latest edition of the nationwide student competition ‘CHANGE THE WORLD THROUGH MOVEMENT’, which is open to pupils and students at secondary schools, further education colleges and universities across the Czech Republic. Cash prizes totalling 100,000 CZK await the best projects!
The competition provides a platform for original ideas that approach the topic of physical activity from different angles and are not afraid to cross the boundaries between disciplines. It is not just about sport itself, but also about new approaches, innovations and solutions that can positively influence everyday life.
Perhaps your student project or the topic of your final dissertation holds an idea worth taking a step further.
Individuals and teams of up to three students can take part. A project may be created specifically for the competition, or it may be based on a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral thesis.
Competition projects may relate, for example, to the following areas:
Ideas that bring more physical activity into schools, towns and everyday life.
Campaigns and community projects promoting an active lifestyle.
New approaches to physical education, fitness, wellness and prevention.
Solutions for children, older people or other specific groups.
Systemic, legislative or technological proposals promoting physical activity.
For the first round, participants must submit a written document of between 8 and 10 pages, in which they present their project, its benefits and a specific proposal. Registration takes place
via an online form available on the competition website.
You can draw inspiration from the work of previous years’ finalists.
The deadline for applications is 31 October 2026.
