📍sála a

17:30 - 18:30 Live library - meet the stories of "living books" that he wrote himself life.

12:30 - 13:40 discussion [Little Country, Great Responsibility] - How is the responsibility in our society and who really bears it? Do we have control of our decisions, or are our actions influenced by wider social or institutional forces? Where does our personal responsibility end and where the responsibility of government, companies or other institutions begins? Moderates: Júlia Zelenková
14:00 - 15:00 discussion [Politicians vs. NGOs. Who kidnapped the state?] - In democracy, power belongs to people, not political parties. And a strong civil society is the basis of every free country. Nevertheless, today we are increasingly encountering rhetoric that NGOs are a "threat" and that citizens should not comment on public affairs unless they establish their own political party. But it is a dangerous lie. Why are we facing attempts to silence civil society today? Who actually kidnapped the state and how does an active citizen become the "enemy of the state"?
