🛠️ Got an idea to improve your neighborhood? Here’s your chance!

And the best part? Anyone can get involved.

What is “We Create Space” (TVOŘÍME PROSTOR)?

Run by the City of Ostrava, this grant program supports local projects that improve public spaces and foster community life. It’s open to:

🧍 Private individuals (non-commercial natural persons)
🏢 Non-state non-profits (associations, public benefit organizations, institutions, foundations)
🏘️ Housing cooperatives and owners’ associations

So whether you’re an expat with an idea to brighten up your street, or a long-time local with a passion project, this program is for you.

Before:

What kinds of projects are funded?

Projects can be big or small, but they should share a few key qualities:

✔ They improve a public space in Ostrava
✔ They bring people together and strengthen community ties
✔ They involve local residents in the process
✔ They create a lasting impact

Think urban gardens, creative benches, painted underpasses, neighborhood clean-ups, pop-up meeting spots, or public art. The possibilities are wide open.

How does it work?

The process is simple and unfolds in three rounds:

1. Send your idea + budget
   Share your vision and a basic budget with the city.

2. Present your project
   If selected, you’ll be invited to present your project to the evaluation committee.

3. Submit your full application
   If your idea moves to the final round, you’ll send in the full application and documentation. If approved — you’re funded!

Why should you apply?

Because you know what your neighborhood needs most.
Because your ideas can inspire real, visible change.
Because community starts with you.

This is a rare chance to turn your ideas into something real — with the support of the city behind you.

So… how do you start?

Start dreaming, sketching, and planning — and get your application ready!
