Akord Wins Significant Award The Union for the Development of the Moravian-Silesian Region annually awards significant institutions prizes for their contributions to the region. One of the awarded institutions in 2018 was Akord, the House of Culture in Ostrava-Zábřeh. The oldest cultural house in Ostrava celebrates 60th anniversary in 2019. It is a modern centre of culture in Ostrava which attracts up to 250,000 visitors annually. Plays, performances, concerts, programmes for children and seniors, open air events, active sport courses and

education, and dance classes represent a small sample of the rich programme which also includes organizing events, congresses, and balls for business partners as well as providing room for training, graduation ceremonies, and academies. The Akord House of Culture also runs a restaurant and a hotel. Akord is the lighthouse of culture and social events in the region of Ostrava; it undoubtedly deserves the award for their contributions to the cultural development of the region. www.dk-akord.cz
