Vesna is a Brno women's educational association with roots going back to 1870, when the oldest women's choir in Moravia was founded. It is based in a historic neo-Renaissance building at Údolní 10, built in 1889 for the first Czech girls' school in Moravia. Today it hosts educational, cultural and community activities for Czech and Ukrainian families, along with a children's centre, a textile workshop and a clothing bank for families in need.
