Flower Power Spring Party 15. 5. 2008

Last year we initiated our pilot project “Promoting Good Entrepreneurship through NGOs” with an official launch at our new Flower Power Spring Party at the Minorite Monastery of St. James. After having evaluated this pilot project we will continue the project with some slight changes. To inform all interested, we boarded the Golf Yacht, docked on the Vltava at Rohanský Island, on Thursday, 15 May, for our second Flower Power Spring Party. To introduce the concept “corporate social responsibility”, our main speaker Thomas Mershon of the University of Pittsburgh compared the different approaches of American and European companies to the issue, after which Pavlína Kalousová of our partner Forum dárců gave an update of our joint project for this year. Members of the British Chamber of Commerce joined us at this occasion to mark the start of a co-operation on this project of ours.

In between our sponsor Ernst & Young prepared a very interesting performance by the renowned violinist Jaroslav Svěcený, who performed varied compositions on an original Stradivarius violin, built in the early eighteen century.

To get the party moving after this informative and entertaining start, the Brazilian band André Sáh & Sambaiando stirred us up while our sponsors Královský pivovar Krušovice and Unilever (Algida ice cream) cooled us down on the upper deck.
