By the decision of the Rector's Office, there is no teaching on 12 November 2025 from 10:40 till 12:15, i.e. teaching blocks 5 & 6.

Teaching at that time is cancelled at the entire TUL in order to make it possible for students to participate in Job TUL Days – detailed program (in Czech) to be found at https://www.jobtuldays.cz/ Please note the programme extends beyond the 10:40–12:15 teaching blocks, and there are events scheduled for 13 November, too.

This round-table examines how universities in the Western world can prepare teachers and, by extension, citizens, for a future that prizes evidence, pluralism, and civic responsibility. We frame universities as forums where diverse perspectives are welcomed and tested through critical thinking and robust argumentation rather than populist tactics. Panellists will explore the values that anchor teacher education – academic freedom, intellectual humility, inclusion, and professional ethics.
