Saturday running and coffee
Hi All,
Come and join us for social running and a coffee!
We meet at the main gate of Vystaviste - tram stop Vystaviste Holesovice. We will run in Stromovka.
Usually we run around 50mins and it is up to everyone how many kilometres. We welcome all levels of runner. We can all run together or, if there is more of us, we can split into groups and at the end of the run we all meet close to the starting point to go for a coffee to a nice local coffee place (where they also sell cakes and great chocolate). If the weather is great, we can also just sit in one of the outside coffee placces in Stromovka and enjoy the sun.
This is where we meet:

Slave Island on Saturday March 14th@18:00 in Kino Světozor
Join us for a movie night at **Kino Světozor** on **Saturday, March 14th.** We’ll meet at around **17:30** ***at the Světozor cafe*** before the film starts at **18:00.**
I will be waiting front of the bar, so please look me up (reference my meetup photograph).
We'll be watching **[Slave Island](https://www.kinosvetozor.cz/en?projection=46349)**, a movie about "northern Vietnamese electronics factories, where the workforce is predominantly female. Far from their children and husbands, they provide for families who cannot survive through traditional rice farming. The film reflects on their dehumanizing working conditions as well as life in a hierarchical society, where the sustenance of men and the upbringing of children fall solely on their shoulders. In addition to the anonymized testimonies, the film features a unique reconstruction of factory life, performed by actual factory workers."
Come enjoy this screening and stay for a drink and a chat about the film afterwards!
The film is shown with English subtitles.
**NOTE:** Please buy your own tickets in **advance**, else last minute may be sold out (available online: [tickets](https://goout.net/en/tickets/slave-island/iutjb/)).
**Kind request:** If you register to attend but later cannot make it, please update your RSVP in time — thank you!

Faces of the Forest: Exploring Čertovy hlavy
Ready for a day of history, nature, and a little mystery?

Nearby, you’ll also find other mysterious rock carvings, artificial caves, and fairy-tale-inspired scenes scattered through the woods.
It’s a hike full of natural beauty, local legends, and unexpected surprises!
