Episode Synopsis

In this week’s Czechia in 30 Minutes, we head back to Ostrava, once one of the industrial hearts of Czechoslovakia. The city is still losing young people, but its leaders hope that education, science and culture can reverse that trend. A visit to the University of Ostrava’s new city campus shows how modern laboratories, art studios and sports facilities are helping to transform both the university and the city around it.
