Johanna Nejedlová

Johanna Nejedlová (*1990), co-founded the non-profit organization Konsent in 2016, focusing on addressing issues related to sexual violence, more broadly, sexual education and advocates for systemic change. Her efforts culminated in a major victory: changing the legal definition of rape to focus on the absence of consent, ensuring better protection for survivors. Initially, many lawmakers claimed this reform would never happen. However, Johanna’s multifaceted strategy—including over 160 meetings with politicians, conducting research, delivering expertise, and creating public pressure through online and offline campaigns—reshaped both political and public opinion. Teaming up with Amnesty International, Johanna and her NGO Konsent successfully created momentum for the legal change. In 2019, Johanna received the Women of Europe award in the category of Woman in Youth Activism. In 2020, Forbes magazine included her in their 30 Under 30 selection, recognizing thirty notable individuals under the age of thirty.

Vojtěch Pravda

Vojtěch Pravda is a first-year student at the Department of Scriptwriting and Dramaturgy at FAMU. Since 2022, he has been an active member of the music group GUFRAU, where he works as a lyricist and vocalist. Music led him to film, through exploring activities associated with—or that can be classified under—the concept of a creatively musical group: from recording original songs and producing music videos to more unconventional performances, such as placing inflatable objects on the Vltava River or on rooftops. In addition, he occasionally engages in acting in crime series and creating instrumental music under the pseudonyms Baboš and Haboš.
