Pionýr
Pionýr (- Czech, in English Pioneer) is a Czech-based voluntary, independent and non-political movement of children, youth and adult people. It focuses on non-formal, educational activities and is organised during leisure time. Pionýr partially keeps an old tradition based on the Pioneer Movement, which was an international children's organisation in Central and Eastern Europe and still exists in some Communist countries. The Czech Pionyr is now associated to the International Falcon Movement - Socialist Education International, the movement works towards social democracy education for children around the world.
