On Monday, the organization Platforma pro včasnou péči (“Early Care Platform”) hosted a roundtable discussion in the Chamber of Deputies to explore the importance of early childhood development and ways to make the Czech Republic a more family-friendly place. I went there to hear from a number of researchers and decision makers on what Czechs can do to help protect their children and set them up better for life.

The event brought together a number of speakers from across Czechia, including Tomáš Hradil, the Mayor of Krnov, as well as Petra Večerková, the director of Eurotopia and the current Deputy Mayor, and Czech linguist and politician Olga Richterová, among others.
