“Bro, Freedom!” – International Students’ Day at TBU
10. November 2026On 17 November, students at Tomas Bata University in Zlín will once again commemorate the anniversaries of two significant historical events in 1939 and 1989. The celebrations, featuring a varied programme in Peace Square (náměstí Míru), will also include activities organised by the TBU Student Union.
From 3:00 pm, students will be invited to join the TBU Student Union in painting a large Czech flag together and writing messages in chalk in response to the question: “What does freedom mean to you?”
Following the memorial and wreath-laying ceremony, speeches and a musical performance by students from the GJŠ Zlín Choir, a student candlelit procession will set off from Peace Square at 5:00 pm and make its way to the Václav Havel Bench.
The evening will conclude at the TBU Rectorate, where students can enjoy hot tea, light refreshments and a musical programme, followed by a screening of a film on a related theme.
Everyone who believes that “Freedom Isn’t the Default” and wants to show that TBU students have not forgotten is warmly welcome.
