description
The Institut français du Royaume-Uni, the Higher Education and Research Department and the Cultural Department of the French Embassy have put together a thought-provoking programme of debates, performances and screenings exploring the latest ideas behind issues central to our times. Across French, British and European perspectives, the next edition of the NIGHT OF IDEAS will engage audiences in open debates with the theme FACING OUR TIME as the common thread to question today’s challenges.
Europe and the environment are major issues facing us today. Too often, however, they are perceived as abstract and remote. The NIGHT OF IDEAS will breathe life into them, inviting audiences to discuss the possibilities for a brighter future where citizens take matters into their own hands.
Europe Beyond Walls
2019 sees the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall and the Iron Curtain, when the people of Europe took their freedom and destinies into their own hands. And yet, today, European countries seem to wish to withdraw within their own borders again. The NIGHT OF IDEAS will be a forum for those who believe in European values and ideas, and embody a new living, breathing European citizenship.
The Earth Here and Now
Climate change is everyone’s responsibility, it affects every aspect of our lives, yet its consequences seem difficult to counteract. Can art and education help us shape a future for our planet? The NIGHT OF IDEAS explores how to become a true environmental citizen.
