Discussion
Central European Forum 2024 will be held in Bratislava on November 16-17. (source: Central European Forum)
Central European Forum
November 16-17, in Kácečko or in the Old Market Hall.
The Central European Forum will address the connection between our thinking and lies, between lies and oaths, and between dishonesty, brutality and suffering. In other words, it will be about the connection between the lie and the stability of civilization. Are we approaching a situation when no one believes anything anymore, so the rules disappear and only the one thing that dictates our fear remains?
A series of discussions will be held in Kácečko and Stará tržnica (Old Market Hall) on November 16-17, depending on the event. You can see the full programme here (in Slovak).
