F*ck Up Night: Let’s celebrate mistakes and support new beginnings!

The evening will feature stories showing that mistakes aren’t the end but rather a fresh start. Mistakes are opportunities to learn, grow, and move forward — and we’re here to spread this message beyond the event. That’s why we’re donating the event’s proceeds to support those who need a new beginning the most right now. Join us and help rebuild a flooded elementary school in Jeseník and the Arogant Brewery in Krnov, both heavily impacted by recent floods.

Location and proceeds

The event will take place in the inspiring spaces of Stage in the Block, the creative hub at Vnitroblock in Prague’s Holešovice district. This unique venue was founded by our alumni Lukáš Žďárský and Jakub Zajíc, who created one of Prague’s most exciting spaces for cultural and social events.

Tickets start at 199 CZK and include a welcome drink, as well as access to informal networking after the official program. By choosing a higher ticket category, you can support the restoration projects with a larger contribution. Together, we can do more than just celebrate mistakes — we can help those facing real challenges right now.
