Havel Channel

https://havelchannel.cz

The Havel Channel is an online TV channel developed by the Václav Havel Library and carried out with the support of the Karel Komárek Family Foundation. It produces debates, educational projects and interviews, while it also devotes a great deal of space to conferences, readings, and recordings of theatre performances and concerts.

In 2017, during the implementation of an e-learning series on human rights in the life and work of Václav Havel, a Man of Inspiration, the organisation came up with the idea of creating the Václav Havel Library online TV channel.

"It is a coincidence that the final phase of development of the station and the launch of broadcasting coincided with the first of two lockdowns in response to the Covid-19 pandemic in the spring and autumn of 2020. A coincidence that all evidence suggests will divide the world into “before” and “after” and which, as tends to be the case, favors the prepared," says editor-in-chief Pavel Hájek.
