STEPS UP TO THE SUN at station no.1 with spherical merch Aug 6th, 2024

STEPS UP TO THE SUN at stand 1 with spherical merch, which was created especially for the number one sporting event in the city - the Pardubice Sports Park.  

From Saturday, August 3 to Sunday, August 11, 2024, visitors will have a chance to try different sports not only in the Automatic Mills, but also in the Na Špici Park. The Sports Park Pardubice is a follow-up to the highly successful event of the Olympic Park Pardubice in 2016, which was attended by over 350,000 visitors over 17 days. And so, in cooperation with sports clubs, a new Pardubice tradition was created - nine days full of sports during the second week in August in the beautiful surroundings of the park.  

This year, we are proud to be a part of the event. The opening ceremony itself will take place on the grounds of the Automatic Mills, with a festive parade starting at 5pm at the statue of Jan Kaspar. The whole program will start at the Automatic Mills at 6 pm. We are expecting interesting exhibitions, music, medal winners' awards and one surprise. 

This year is an Olympic year - thanks to the streaming of the Olympic broadcasts on big screens, we will be transported to Paris in two places - in the fanzone in Na Špici Park and in the Automatic Mills. The fanzone will run, like the Sports Park, from 9am to 6pm from Saturday 3 to Sunday 11 August, while the Mills will start streaming on Friday 2 August and their streaming will last until 10pm. 

From Friday 2 August, our new special merch will be sold at the SFÉRA reception. A bottle, wooden puzzle, bracelet and other spherical specialties🌏will be sold starting Saturday at the spherical booth right outside the building or inside at the reception.  

Sports bottle: 130 CZK

We are looking forward to seeing all the sports enthusiasts who will come to us to complete the first challenge called "STEPS UP TO THE SUN".  

 

 

 

Sphere

“In SPHERE we spread new knowledge. We are spinning together with our Science on a Sphere, a unique technology that uses planetary data to show us, for example, natural phenomena on Earth. We're spinning out ideas about what we're going to do in the future. It is uncertain what our vocations will be, and many of us grope for whom or why we are learning. But it is this uncertainty that inspires us to come together and seek a path together to new possibilities and discoveries. Sometimes we get a little dizzy from the speed of technological development. That's why we're noticing how modern technology is changing the way we live together and learning how to use it.”

SPHERE is a new organization of non-formal and extracurricular education, located in the emerging creative district of Automatic mills in Pardubice.

SPHERE educates for the future. It creates space for creativity, creation and discovery of new connections. It connects actors from different fields and groups, cooperates with partners on its own development and the development of the whole community. It changes established ways of learning and knowing and impacts people living in the region and beyond. It strengthens responsibility for the world around us and contributes to the sustainable development of the Hradec-Pardubice agglomeration.

Why Sphere?

  • Sphere as a scientific field, scope of knowledge.
  • Sphere as a sphere.
  • Sphere as a scientific terminus technicus.
  • Sphere as an archetypal idea of the universe.
  • Sphere as a perfect shape.
  • Sphere as a community.
