Generation Nika is a Czech-based NGO working with teenagers in communities affected by war and social injustice. Our activities started in summer 2024. Through hands-on movie workshops, young people are creating their own fiction short films from start to finish. We provide a safe space where teens can process experiences, build confidence, and develop practical skills. The patronage of Eva Pavlová, the First Lady of the Czech Republic, further reinforces the transparency of our activities.
