Petőfi Circle 2016
A Series of University Debates
This series of six debates, organized in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Sciences at ELTE University and the Göncz Árpád Foundation, seeks to discuss, in the full glare of publicity, fundamental issues that determine our political culture, society, success, human dignity as well as our daily lives and in relation to which, unfortunately, there has been no public dialogue so far. On the sixtieth anniversary of the first meeting of the Petőfi Circle in 1956, this series of events, to be held from March 17, 2016, to November 4, 1956, revives and relaunches this public discourse. The guest speakers, debate partners and participants in the public debate will deal with issues that are fundamental for people in a democracy, discussing tangible examples that affect all of us (such as freedom, justice, patriotism, etc.).
