A center of the Hejčín district of Olomouc, with an abandoned building of the former Faculty of Science on a neglected plot of land, is becoming a new center of events. An initiative called Hej-čin, works with the vision of a community cultural and creative center, explores the hidden potential of an unused building and its surroundings, and comes up with a program of events leading to the activation of the locality.
