The festival, held in Vilnius, brings together representatives from business, academia, politics, culture, non-governmental organizations, and other members of society. It invites everyone interested in discussing the most pressing societal issues, generating new ideas that support the development of the country, gaining fresh insights, inspiration, and connecting with like-minded individuals. The event aims to promote a culture of dialogue and active listening, civic engagement, and tolerance of diverse viewpoints. Various societal groups are encouraged to exchange ideas about the state and society, present their arguments on key issues, and work toward better mutual understanding. It is a celebration of diversity of opinion and democracy, where every voice has the right to be heard.
We invite the entire EHU community – students, faculty, alumni, and staff – to actively participate in discussions, share insights, openly debate key issues, or simply attend, listen, and grow.
