Responsibility

[real responsibility
  is the responsibility towards others]

We are aware of our social responsibility
with regard to the arts, education, sports
and charity. The projects we supported
produced tangible results and have
become a natural part of the life
of almost every single one of us.

We help

Maybe you too called the special number of the For the Children of Slovakia Foundation in their An Hour for Children Campaign and so helped children in need. Maybe you applauded at the Christmas concert of A Smile as a Gift Foundation and so from the summer of 2002 children from orphanages can now relax in three new recreational chalets. The League against Cancer Foundation could buy a flow cytometer machine, which enables the timely diagnosing of cancer. Maybe the yellow flower of humanity on Daffodils' Day blossomed also on your coat or in your hand. Children in the renovated school and healthcare centre in Ľubietová will certainly remember the disastrous floods. The Fifth Woman Campaign finally opened the issue of helping abandoned and abused women. We helped in all these initiatives. In 2002 we discovered, thanks to the Life Lines Project, that many people, both adults and children, need help or advice free of charge. And they will need it in 2003 as well.

We educate

eSlovakia - a project aimed at spreading the Internet in elementary and secondary schools all over Slovakia represents a special chapter for us. Owing to the project, the number of Slovak schools connected to the Internet reached 845. However, it is not enough to connect, one also needs a reason for being connected and the right guides in the Internet world. That is why, as part of the Infovek Project, we also continued to support the training of teachers.

We provide the extraordinary

We bring communication into the lives of our customers every day. Art, dancing, singing or theatre are the next dimensions of communication. We were the main partner for Bratislavská hudobná jar 2002 (Bratislava Musical Spring 2002) and we hosted the opera diva - Montserrat Caballé. We gave the Slovak audience the opportunity of experiencing their moment of fame at the International Film Festival ArtFilm in Trenčianske Teplice. Thanks to Slovenské telekomunikácie, a.s. the traditional SĽUK (Slovak Folk Artistic Ensemble) starred in Cirkus Svet - an untraditional show of Ján Ďurovčík. At the end of the year stages were animated by the Czech Theatre Festival 2002.

We join hands with the best

We know how important it is to support the best and raise new talents at the same time. Since 2002 we have been the general sponsor of the top Slovak ice-hockey competition which essentially reared the World Champions 2002. In the next three seasons starting with the 2002/2003 season, the official name of the competition will be Slovenské telekomunikácie Extraliga.
