Is it actually possible to teach citizenship, or at least its foundations? Or is it the example of persons of full moral integrity jointly defending their personal freedom representatively for all others that makes the difference?
On 14 – 16 March 2008, we are hosted by the European Humanities University (EHU), a “University in Exile” founded in Minsk/Belarus in 1992 to build a productive dialogue with Europe and the world in order to overcome the intellectual enclosure of Belarus. It was closed down by the authorities in Minsk in 2004 because of its links to European colleagues and the active participation in the Bologna Process, and is currently harboured on EU grounds in Vilnius/Lithuania.
Our OpenFora are opportunities for interested citizens to exchange views and experience on topics that go beyond mere European-integrationist matters. They are designed as weekend debates, in order to be open for people of all generations.
