Close cooperation between Oxford philosophers and representatives of Prague dissent began in January 1979. Soon after, a charitable organisation known as the Jan Hus Educational Foundation (JHEF or the Foundation) was established to provide systematic support. Cooperation with the JHEF in Brno commenced in 1981, and the first home seminar was held in December 1984. This collaboration continued discreetly, and therefore without interruption, until the end of 1989. In the following year, the Czechoslovak Jan Hus Educational Foundation was established in Brno. It continues its activities to this day under its Czech name, Vzdělávací nadace Jana Husa (VNJH). The exhibition Sparks of Freedom: British Support for Brno Dissent in the 1980s, held in the Marble Halls (Mramorové sály) of the Moravian Museum from 15 October 2025 to 19 April 2026, along with the accompanying eponymous catalogue, focuses on events in Brno during the second half of the 1980s. While this may seem a short time, both in terms of historical perspective and individual human experience, closer examination reveals the opposite. In the context of a totalitarian regime, five years of clandestine cooperation, secrecy and sustained international collaboration constituted an exceptionally long and intense period.
