The Night of Ideas in Serbia highlights the French Institute of Serbia's Idea Debate programme in 2021 with three cycles of meetings developed throughout the year: "Equality in the digital world", "Collapses and Rebirths" and "Rendez-Vous in Europe".

Emphasis is placed on new forms of solidarity, equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, and the challenges of democracy in the face of new geostrategic (des)balances. This programme is asserting itself in a European dynamic, in terms of values and collective intelligence, while a-liberal influences are gaining ground everywhere.

In continuous streaming from 2:30 pm to 8:30 pm on the Youtube Live and/or Facebook channel of the French Institute of Serbia, 3 live interactive meetings will be proposed, interspersed with shorter videos showing recent meetings on the same theme. This stream will be resumed in video projection in our premises, in order to welcome the public if the situation allows it.

The French Institute of Serbia celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2021. The Night of Ideas 2021 will be the first event of this celebration.
