Two inspiring representatives connected to NEWTON University have reached the finals of the Jan Opletal Awards 2025, which celebrate young people under 30 who are shaping a better society through their courage and initiative.
Vojtěch Toman, a NEWTON University graduate, impressed the jury with his project Game of Life, which connects people through public events and inspires them to live boldly and authentically. He is also the founder of the eco-brand OneCup, whose stainless-steel cups help reduce global plastic waste.
Also among the finalists is Matěj Svoboda, a high-school student and NEW Gen Academy speaker, who combines education, science, and volunteering to inspire other young people to make a positive impact.
The award ceremony will take place on 11 November 2025 at the Studio Hrdinů in Prague’s Veletržní Palace and will be broadcast live on Czech Television’s iVysílání platform.
The Jan Opletal Awards are organised by the Student Chamber of the Council of Higher Education Institutions in cooperation with the Thanks That You Can (Díky, že můžem) association.
