Friday was the day for the presentation of the results of the students' work over the duration of the week.


In the morning we used a public bus to get from HSK to [[wikipedia:en:Litvínov|Litvínov]]. Our various presentations took place in the auditorium of the Centre for Bachelor Studies at [http://www.humanitas.cz Schola Humanitas] - a specialised secondary school focusing on environmental education in Litvínov. While our coordinators were preparing by misunderstanding the presentation in other room of the school, we could not understand, where they disappeared. But finally we met in nice aula, even the tasty snack was available. [[File:IMG 4357.JPG|thumb|Public discussion]]
In the morning we used a public bus to get from HSK to [[wikipedia:en:Litvínov|Litvínov]]. Our various presentations took place in the auditorium of the Centre for Bachelor Studies at [http://www.humanitas.cz Schola Humanitas] - a specialised secondary school focusing on environmental education in Litvínov. While some of the summer school coordinators were misdirected by some workers to the school auditorium in the school's main auditorium, they eventually discovered the mistake and found the correct auditorium in time where the facilities were found to be excellent, as were the refreshments provided by the school.

Almost all participants participated in the presentation, we explained, what was our summer school about, our methods of work and also our results. Even if some of the participants from public were probably bored by the theoretical part of our presentation, those who remained were very interested in results of our work and there was a long discussion with them after the presentation.
There was some nervousness among the summer school staff about how many invitees would eventually turn up, as only two confirmations had been received beforehand from the many dozens of invitations that had been sent out. By the beginning of the presentations approximately 10 participants had arrived, including officials from the Most municipal council and from Destinační agentura Krušné hory o.p.s. Unfortunately, almost all of them disappeared after the first 20 minutes, leaving only three local people with whom we could have a discussion afterwards. The summer school organisers will have to think about ways of including more local stakeholders and encouraging them to stay for the public discussion at future summer school presentations.


After lunch in school cafeteria we had some time which we spent by small sightseeing of the city and also by shopping in Tesco supermarket.  
Almost all students and university staff participated in the presentation when we explained in some detail the goals of the summer school, the methodology used, the tasks the students were set, and what their ultimate outcomes were in the form of possible strategies for the region for dealing with the localised challenges of the three pillars of sustainable development. Unfortunately, it was probably the theoretical part of the presentations that dissuaded much of the local stakeholder audience from remaining, as this came first, but those who steadfastly remained were very interested in the results of our work and engaged in a long discussion with the students after the presentation.


Back to Hora Svaté Kateřiny by public bus. Before lunch we had the last presentation provided by Petr Mikšíček - author of several books, exhibitions, cultural events etc. in Ore Mountains.
