Peace and Democracy in Crisis: Václav Havel European Dialogues

This event has ended.

Václav Havel called for 'living in truth' and 'an existential revolution' as a response to the crisis of our civilisation. The Ukraine War has been the most recent evidence of this crisis.

Another evidence is the climate change and growing state of environmental emergency which confront us with urgent questions of sustainable development, environmental justice, rights and inequalities as well as calls for global political actions to tackle grave risks.

The Centre of Law and Society, together with the Czech Centre in London and UCL, has organised two panel discussions focusing on the issues of peace, democracy, environmental justice and the crisis of our civilisation.

Panellists include Lenka Buštíková (Oxford University), Rob Cameron (BBC correspondent), Duncan Kelly (Cambridge University), Tetyana Pavlush (Cardiff University), Shalini Randeria (Central European University), Owen Sheers (Welsh novelist, Swansea University), Marci Shore (Yale University), Sam Varvastian (Cardiff University), Michael Žantovský (Knihovna Václava Havla).
