It describes itself as a team of educators, lecturers, mentors and coaches working to raise the quality of primary schools in the Czech Republic.

The institute offers its experience, know-how, support and enthusiasm to schools so that their work becomes easier and more meaningful. Its activities centre on professional development for teachers and school teams, coaching and mentoring for school leaders, and the promotion of innovative approaches to primary education. It also articulates a concept of what makes an innovative primary school, emphasizing principles such as respect, trust, communication, a sense of safety and the freedom to be oneself. The organization is led by director Daniel Drahanský, described as a long-time coach and consultant for schools and companies who designs tailor-made educational events for working teams. The board includes Lucie Krejčíková, an expert in preschool and primary education for sustainable living and experiential and outdoor learning; Dita Ondrejčáková, who focuses on community, individual and self-directed education; and Dita Culková, an expert in primary education and teacher training who works as a university didactician and guarantees courses in experiential pedagogy and physical activities in interdisciplinary contexts. The institute operates primarily in the Czech Republic and serves the Czech school system, particularly primary schools. It positions itself as a support organization rather than a school, providing know-how, training and mentoring to educators. Its public profile is built around its website, which presents its team, principles and offers to schools.
